Putting is one of the toughest aspects of the game, since most of our strokes are counted on the green. This month's tip will focus on
two aspects of the putting stroke: the length of the stroke and the acceleration through impact. These two factors lead to solid short
putts (inside 10 feet) on a consistent basis. A great drill to use when working on consistent stroke length is to place a tee behind the
ball off of your right foot (as pictured below).
Try to keep your putting stroke short and smooth, making sure you accelerate through impact. If your club head hits the tee, you know you
have gone too far back. Also, be sure to hold your finish position with the club head toward the hole (as pictured below) as this helps to
reduce jerkiness in the stroke.
Practice the tee drill with your putting and starting sinking those short putts!
Your scores will follow suit!
