Practicing short putts is one of the best ways to lower your score and build confidence on the green. Here’s how to make the most of your short putt practice:
Focus on Repetition and Routine: Set up a series of 3- to 5-foot putts around the hole in a circle or a clock formation. Work on hitting each putt with the same routine and focus. Practicing from all angles around the hole also helps you get used to subtle breaks.
Emphasize Alignment and Setup: Use alignment aids or markers on the green to make sure you’re setting up square to the hole. Proper alignment helps you start your putts on the right line.
Work on a Smooth, Controlled Stroke: For short putts, aim to make a compact, pendulum-like stroke with minimal wrist movement. Focus on using your shoulders to keep your stroke stable and consistent.
Putt with Confidence and Firmness: Many missed short putts come from deceleration or hesitancy. Practice putting with confidence, sending the ball with enough speed to reach the back of the hole. This helps reduce the chances of the ball veering off line.
