How much time do you spend on the driving range, driver in hand? Most golfers spend more time practicing with their driver than any other club in their bag. Yes, it’s fun and rewarding – who doesn’t like to see a ball fly 200 yards, but this is not the most important part of your game. In fact, the best players on the tour are generally not the longest drivers – they are the ones with great short games and even better putting ability. Therefore, golf putting tips can really help your game.
Here are a few golf putting tips that I have gotten from teachers and even the pro’s that might help your game.
- Despite what others may tell you, do not take your time – but don’t hurry. The key to a good putt is that you are confident and move swiftly to the ball. The longer you take to worry about it, and question your own belief in your line – the less likely it is that the ball will go in.
- The fewer body parts that are moving, the better. I have a friend who bends his arms when he putts, bringing the putter around his body, just like an iron. The putter should be steady, every part of your body should be steady, and the putter should swing, just like a pendulum.
- Remember, as the saying goes, “95% of short putts don’t go in.” Of course, 100% of them don’t go in, but the message is – don’t be afraid to shoot long.

Good Information, thanks. After a life time of playing golf, it is still amazing how, just when you begin to get a little bit complacement and you think you have "cracked" this game..it comes back very sharply and bites you. One of the key elements which catches most people out is the grip pressure. In my experience, when I consciously think about relaxing the grip pressure to around 4 out of 10, (where 10 is a vice-like grip), that is when it I get a really great shot. Straight and long, as the unhinging of a RELAXED grip allows the club head to do what it is designed to do with the weight in the head being allowed to do the work, rather than "forcing" the downswing with the hands. What does anyone else think about this, I would really like to hear from you?
