Here's a Short Putting Tip That's Damn Difficult But Worth Doing

I know most of you say you're good at short putting,and are just lying to yourselves when you say that.

So here's a hard short putting tip.

If you have a hardwood floor at home try putting some five footers for 5 minutes. Just put a target to hit at the bottom of the wall. I don't care what it is. Plastic,metal or what ever.

Make sure it's not much bigger than a golf hole to hit. Don't want to make it easy.

This is actually a very difficult short putting exercise.

Why?

Because a hardwood floor is not totally level,and the type of material used is wood,and there for not conducive to staying on an aligned path. Most floors are plastic these days anyway.

This short putting exercise will make you really focus on keeping your body still and keeping your putter aligned and have a more forceful stroke at impact. You would think a softer stroke would do the trick. Hell no!!!

I tried this exercise and got all pissed off,but kept on doing it because it was difficult to keep your putt aligned. Even a top golfer would have a difficult time with this.

Think about it,it's not on a green,and the material you're putting on is actually slippery to the touch

of a golf ball,and will have a tendency to always veer off it's path.

Try it and see if you can make some good putts.

Maybe I'm wrong and you'll do it easy as pie. Don't know.

Or try this on a cement floor in your basement.

I'm not kidding. If you can do this by practicing it regularly, chances are you'll do better practicing short putts on a green.

Make things more difficult. That's one of the keys to short putting success guys.

Now go out and do it!
