Now a good putt won't attract the kind of back-slapping and gasps of jealously that a good long accurate drive will. But hear me out. Because a simple "tweak" in your putting can lower your score a lot quicker than adding 30 yards to your drive. Yep... eliminate the 3-putts (or worse) and I guarantee it'll make a HUGE difference in your score. When the pros want to concentrate on lowering their score, they look to their putting game.
First... avoid putting from a static position. Okay... what does that mean? Well just this. You want to get some "movement" started before you begin the backstroke. Pro golfer Bobby Schaeffer suggests you line up your shot... settle in for the putt... then just before you begin the backstroke, perform two gentle up-and-down "taps" with your putter head.
That's it. This avoids the kind of inaccuracies and putter head "bobbles" that come from a static start.
Second... about your putting stroke. Remember to focus on keeping the putter head low to the ground - this helps to keep the putter on plane These two tips will do a couple things for you. It'll suddenly give you greater consistency and accuracy with your putts because you've avoided starting from a "static" position... AND you'll never again "stub" your putts because the "tap-tap" feeds your brain with a measurement of where the grass is. Good stuff that'll instantly lower your score.
