Golf Putting Tips – Sink Your Short Putts

Putting is one of the toughest aspects of the game. Most of our strokes are counted on the green. Sinking your short putts can make all the difference in your round of golf.

Let’s focus on two areas of the putting stroke; Length of your stroke and acceleration through impact. Mastering these two parts of your putting stroke will lead to more consistency and sinking more short putts.

Many golfers will take too long of a back swing in their putts.  This will generally lead to decelerating at the point of impact causing your putts to come up short.

When practicing your putting, try putting a tee behind the golf ball off the middle of your back foot. Take your backstroke without hitting the tee. If you hit the tee with your backward motion, then you know you have gone too far back. This will force you to accelerate through impact.

Be sure to hold your finish position with the club head toward the hole.

Practice this putting drill and start sinking your short putts.
