    Putting

    Many golfers will spend a lot of time working on an awesome drive. But, the truth is that the put is just as important, because the ball has to drop in the cup if you want to win the game.
    Learning to putt accurately is a great way to spend your practice time. Even if you are consistently able to land the ball on the green, you still need to be able to drop the ball in the cup.
    The “yips” are the bane of many golfers. Yips are breaks or hesitations. These cause you to have a less than smooth putt. A smooth stroke will lend you better control over the ball. When you’re practicing your putt, you need to pay attention to accuracy. If you’re having trouble controlling the line of travel of the ball, you will want to give yourself some help until you have a better feel for things. You might find it helpful to mark your club to indicate the center of the putter. Marking the ball can also help you have a solid swing. Chalk is a good way to mark your club, as you can easily wipe them off when you’re done practicing.
    Try making a mental picture of how the ball should travel. If that mental picture doesn’t help, try laying a piece of string on the ground between the ball and the cup. It may seem like a very simple thing, but watching the point that your ball veers can help you figure out what you need to do to correct the problem.
    Too much spin on a putt creates problems as well. Spin is one of the most difficult things to control and a short distance putt is all about control. If it is a long putt, you can resist the urge to put too much muscle into your swing. This will help you avoid unnecessary loft. The higher the ball travels, the less control you will have over it.
    Another thing you have to do is resist the urge to overshoot the target. Overshooting is a problem in many sports. It is human nature to overdo things and you want to guard against that when putting. There’s little more frustrating than to overshoot the putt.
    Remember, when you’re ready to putt, take a moment to ensure you have your swing under control.
