| Having problems with "Putting"?
Amyl OK Golf for
help and advice. |
It's just not possible to overstate the value of working
on your short game, and especially your putting. Too many lady golfers
pay scant regard to practising this part of their games, ignoring
the fact that over half of the shots they play during a round are
from within 100 yards of the hole. I believe the key to consistently
good putting lies in the correct alignment of the club, ball, feet,
hips and shoulders.

A simple way to ensure that you start your putts
in the right direction. Position your ball so that the maker's
name points down the line on which you want to start your putt.
When you stand over the ball, it's then much easier to set up
to the putt.

This is good drill if you ever get tense standing
over putts. Notice my head is positioned directly over the ball.
My arms simply hang loose. Add the putter, and you can see I've
barely had to move to accommodate it.
|

My putter has a line that points towards the hole
that I can use in conjunction with the maker's name to make
sure that I'm pointing in exactly the right direction. The white
stake helps me check that my feet are parallel to my target
line. |
|

I advocate that the ball should be two putter-widths away from
your feet. To make sure you are standing the right distance away,
try this drill. Position your putter in the line of your feet, then
move to one, and then two, widths away from you.

Voila! Another one finds the bottom of the cup! Note
how I have not moved the upper half of my body at all. I have made
a smooth stroke and I'm just waiting to hear that beautiful sound
of the ball dropping into the hole.
