It doesn’t matter how hard you work to reach the green, if you have only made it in one or two strokes, you don’t want it to be ruined by multiple putts. The final step of the hole is sinking the putt. It’s the part that determines if you have a hole you like or one you don’t.
Interesting to see that people are very different when it comes greens. One person prefers a smaller green to allow for more error. Another likes a bigger green so they can attempt to hit a 25-yard putt. On average, finishing the hole requires a putt of between 4-6 feet. You should not be too disappointed if one of your putts goes awry.
As with most things in life you have a better chance of succeeding if your practice is consistent. You will see an increase in your success rate, which will encourage you to practice more. Start small. Focus on the basics and stick to straight shots. This will allow you to learn more about putting. To get a better feel for the putter, you should concentrate on your putting.
Place around 10 golf balls at the hole’s edge. You’ll probably miss some, but you will keep going until every ball is putt. After you’ve mastered this easy exercise, increase the distance to continue.
It doesn’t take much space to practice putting if you have difficulty getting to the green regularly. Because you aren’t constantly being watched, practicing at home can help build confidence. You will find that you feel more confident with every putt and your fear of making that putt will diminish.
