Putting is the most personalized part of the golf game; it is all about individuality, feel and confidence. That being said, putting styles differ quite a lot from player to player, especially on tour. Because of this, there are many things about putting that are not worth teaching. Take the putting grip for example – when it comes to putting, I’ve seen all sorts of grips work… on tour for example, you will find players who putt using left hand low, reverse overlap or even the claw. That being said, there are two fundamental of putting that needs to be used by all golfers. |

A reader's e-mail: I am a seven handicapper with a long game of a much better player but what is holding me back is my putting. All my putts are off center, and are very often pulled. I am told this by playing mates and can also feel it in my hands. So could you recommend some drills which will see me constantly hit putts out of the middle of the clubface and stop pulling them? Many Thanks Niall |

Every single shot in golf is equal. Whether it's a 300 yard drive, or 1 foot putt, on a scorecard, both shots are equal. Time and time again though, I see players whacking driver after driver out on the range, completely neglecting the putting green in their practice sessions. Your putter is intended to be used for half of your shots in a round of golf ,practicing with it, will ultimately lower your score a lot faster than the extra 10 yards you've gained with your driver. In this post you'll find the top 5 faults I see in amateurs who suffer on the greens. |

Is your putting stroke square to your target line at impact? I doubt it… Many of you will be surprised to find out that completely straight 15 foot putt will miss the cup – if your clubface is either open or closed by simply 1%. That’s a very large margin for error. This post will cover some cool little drills you can perform to gain a better understanding of where your clubface is aimed at impact – and how to improve your consistency on the greens. |

There are two kinds of putting strokes that golfers use. The square-to-square stroke and the arcing stroke. The square-to-square putting stroke remains along your target line with the club face pointing at your target at all times. The arcing stroke is an in-to-in putting stroke and the club face fans open on the backswing and closed on the follow-through. |

If you have ever suffered from the putting yips, you know just how embarrassing and difficult such a simple act like a three foot can be. You would also be aware of how difficult it is to get your putting stroke back on track. I had them once, and it took ages to rid my stroke of them. Here is one drill I employed which really helped. |

I played my first round of the season a couple months ago and noticed that my yips had returned on the greens. It was very frustrating, as I had suffered from them all throughout 2005, which nearly ruined my season. |
