15 Nov Be willing to experiment with putting

Posted at 08:09h in Golf Tip by

You need to consistently experiment with putting — the smallest of changes could suddenly fill you with confidence and lift your overall game.

Whatever the choice, judging the pace of the putt is all important. Knowing how firmly to hit a putt along different lines comes with experience. You should experiment on the practice green with the ‘die’ or ‘charge’ putt.

With a die putt it’s best to pinpoint a spot you want the ball to roll over between you and the hole. With a charge, choose a point level with the hole and aim to hit the ball at it. If you read the break properly the ball will hit the back of the hole and drop in.

When you’re deciding how hard or how wide you need to hit the ball towards the hole, it’s essential to visualise the path and how the slope will affect it.

Being able to weigh up the facts quickly and make the right decision during your round — to charge or die? — is vital to your score. Often it’s a decision that must be made under pressure in a match — so be prepared.

Out of Bounds: Don’t sigh with regret the anguish of golf! That is for the weak.
