From the Pro – Tim’s Top Tip.
Would you like to hole more putts from a strategic warm up?
Before golf, take 10 minutes to putt for two reasons:
- Improve accuracy
- Improve distance control.
Find a flat spot on the green about 2m from the pin, and putt from the exact same place about 10 times or until you are getting the ball in every time.
Then putt from various distances on the same line to a hole.
Vary the length at random, and work on putting the ball in or a grip length past the hole.
Give these drills a go before your next round, and if you need further assistance book a lesson to improve your game by calling me on 5874 9172, or visit the Tocumwal Pro Shop.
