Why You Aren't Becoming a Better Putter

Setting up 

     Many people have a poor putting stance and it can cause them to continue to miss putts. Putting is a very detailed part of golf that can be frustrating for some. In order to spend less time on the green you need to learn how to set up to the ball after picking your aiming point. 



              1. Have a slight bend in your knees
              2. Keep head directly over ball
              3. Have a grip that you're comfortable with 
                        Now Putt with confidence

Drills 

     Ways to improve putting are simply practicing. Putting is something you should work on constantly if you want to become a better golfer. Without putting you can't get the ball in the hole. There are so many great practice ideas but find one that you are comfortable with and work on all different types of putts. According to Golf Monthly, Tiger Woods "...gets his eyes right over the ball to encourage a stroke that will start the putt on his target line."

If you hit a golf shot from 150 yards out and miss the green, then your next shot will be a chip. Chipping allows us to get as close to the hole as possible before having to putt. Chipping can make your putting life easier if you do it correctly.  Weight Distribution       In my opinion the most important thing to keep in mind while chipping is your stance. Your stance should allow slightly more weight on your front so you can swing through the ball coming down. This will allow for clean chips that come out nicely. According to Swing Align.
