Golf Putting Tips - Better Ball Position to Putt Better

I believe that every golfer wants to know how to putt better...even the pros, because being able to putt better means lower scores, and ultimately, more fun on the course!

But putting better is easier said than done! When was the last time that you can say that you played 18 holes without putting a single 3-putt? Probably can't say that, can you?

But I have found a tip that can help you learn how to putt better, with greater precision, as it has helped me for God knows how long!

One reason why your putting may be inconsistent and unreliable may have to do with your set-up and ball position prior to putting.

Now which club do you think that you can putt better with...a wedge or a putter? A putter, duh! Well that's because the putter has the least loft of any club in your bag, most having around 4 degrees of loft. Therefore, you should be trying to eliminate or lessen the loft on your putts. And how can you do this and how will this will help you putt better?

Try to place the ball towards the front of your stance with your hands and grip not leaning behind the putter clubhead. This will give you more consistent roll.

So what should you remember to do next time that you are practicing your putting?

1) Hands and grip not behind the head of the putter.

2) Smooth and "nice-n-easy" stroke no matter the distance of the putt.

3) Hold the follow through of your putter.

Learning how to putt better isn't that difficult now is it?

It seems that I have searched the world trying to learn how to putt better. There were so many drills, putters, and "miracle" training aids promising me that if I bought their product then I would never 3 putt again.

I could hit great drives and alright approach shots, but I would butcher my scorecard on the putting green - even making it off with a 3 putt being lucky. I just wanted to learn how to putt better once and for all, because I knew that being able to make more putts was the only way to lower my scores and handicap.

If you really want to play better golf then keeping the swing and game simple is often the best way to go for most people. The 'Simple Golf System' can help you learn an effective way to play the game so you can have greater consistency that results in lower scoring. Click here to learn more.
