Golf Short Game Tips for Beginners

Since putting accounts for almost half of the shots you will make during a round of golf, it is important that you find good putting practice tips. The only way to develop a successful putting stroke is through repetition. To grow a good repeating stroke try searching on the Internet for putting practice tips. You will find that there are all kinds of tips and I am becoming a believer that no matter which ones you choose, you will improve. Spend the majority of your training time on the green. By utilizing different putting practice tips you will gradually teach yourself how to play various conditions that you will encounter for real out on the course. Try not to perform the same drills over and over again because this can cause you to loose concentration and could even cause your brain to become bored. Random putting practice tips will help your game and you will start to lower your score.

I love it when I learn something new and different when it comes to golf. For example, I have recently started using magnetic ion bracelets. I'm not promoting the notion here that you have to use one, but I am just making a point that trying something new can be good for your game. The same is true with putting. Here is a new and different tip that I came across recently:

A typical first putt when you reach the green in regulation is 20 to 30 feet. So start your practice session hitting putts from these distances. Pay attention to how close you get to the hole. After you have practiced a number of 20 to 30 foot putts, then calculate the average distance you had left to the hole. Now, place your golf ball onto the green and then place a ball marker on the ground equal to the distance that you had left to the hole, while you were practicing your distance putts. Hit your putts at the ball marker. This will help you to focus on a small spot on the green and when you get onto the course, the hole will appear to be bigger and you will putt with more confidence. Putting practice tips such as this will help you to make huge improvements on the green.
