Short Putting--Tap-In Technique That Puts The Ball In Every Time--Well The Majority Of The Time

By You Know Who

To me tap-in putts are ones that are from literally less than 6 inches to a foot at the most. Like I keep saying this is your foundation to becoming a great Putter. Not just the pros can become great putters. You can as well. Don't kid yourself you can if you apply these simple tips. You're now saying,yeah,yeah I've heard it all before.

If you have why are you here at this site? Obviously you want to learn. I'm not a Putting guru just some schlub who writes about it. Okay, lets get going here. Do this in small chunks weekly. Start off by doing 4 inch putts for 5 to 10 minutes a day 5 days a week. Then the 2nd week 8 inch putts 10 minutes a day 5 days a week.
The 3rd week do your 12 inch putts.

You don't have 10 minutes a day 5 days a week free. Come on!

Think about it this way. Just bear with me. That's 10 minutes a day improving the game you love and you're away from the wife,Mother-in Law and the kids for 10 minutes. Make it 20 minutes if you feel so inclined.

This is your "away time" to zone out and do some dead simple tap-in putting tips. Kind of like your way of meditating.

Okay,back to the tap-in putting tip. After you've done 2 weeks of 4,8 and 12 inch putts for a week each, go back and do each for 2 weeks each. You're probably thinking, this is too easy Mark. Believe me it's tougher than you think to do 4,8 and 1 foot putts for 2 weeks straight of each. That's why you need the foundation of tap-in putts and short putts of just a few feet before moving on to 5,10,15 and beyond.

Try this routine out. 10 minutes a day 5 times a week doing 4 inch,8 inch and 1 foot putts. Don't deviate from this routine. You will succeed if you do this. As a disclaimer--Results not typical. If you don't practice this like I've described you won't succeed and progress. I can't guarantee you'll succeed,only that if you practice you'll get better. Kind of like being a guitar player. If they didn't practice they wouldn't be any good on-stage.

Stay motivated and much success on the green guys.
