If you’re unsure about your line, try to line up your putter with a marker or spot on the ground. It really helps with alignment!
That’s a solid tip! It eliminates second-guessing when you’re putting.
Putting is all about feel, but consistency is key. Try using the same routine for every putt to minimize mistakes.
I’ve noticed that many golfers overlook their stance when putting. A solid stance can greatly improve control over the shot, which relates to grounding the club too.
Absolutely! A good stance not only helps you maintain balance but also positively affects your line of play.
Sometimes, the pressure can lead us to forget the simple rules. Staying calm and collected is half the battle in putting.
