Short Putting Visualization Tip You Can Use To Skyrocket Your Short Putting Prowess







In my last short putting tip interview I talked with Mark Harman well known Pro Golfer and National Director of the US Golf Teachers Federation. We talked about the importance of Visualizing your short putts,and even some short putt simulation tips to get your mental and physical aspect of short putts on track for more success.

Mark is also well known as a low handicapper, and a top notch Golfing Consultant. Lets just say he's got incredible Golfing chops and a knowledge of the game that's second to none. In that interview he said if your short game is off, you better work on it big time. But this article delves into how visualizing your putts, and simulating actual putts will help your game as well, if you use these techniques regularly.


Visual Short Putting Strategy:
By all this, what I mean is, first of all you should be thinking about the path of your putt and where you want it to go, forgetting about your actual technique. Because, if it's a long putt, you may want to stroke it to an advantageous spot where a short stroke to sink it is better than shooting the ball beyond the cup and the green totally. (Visual Tactical Strategy) is important to any sport, especially golf. By thinking critically about your upcoming stroke will help you make a more mechanically sound stroke and follow through the way you want.

Hand Rolling Short Putts :
You can actually simulate a Putt by hand rolling the ball. Try doing this on a Putting green, because You'd look pretty silly doing it on the course green. This will in effect teach you how much momentum or how hard you should stroke your putts. This actually works guys. As well you should stroke the ball like it's already rolling. You will learn where to hit the ball as well, whether lower or higher. Remember, have a minimalist approach to putting and your short game will improve, not to mention your average round score.
