When it comes to putting, most people don't have time to practice. Still others just don't like to practice putting and will spend their time hitting balls on the range. Is it possible to get better at putting without practice?
Well, the answer is yes and no. If one doesn't practice at least a little bit on mid range putts, it will be difficult to get the speed consistently right. That is the plight all weekend golfers suffer.
There is no answer for getting a consistent feel for putting if you only play once a week and never get to practice your putting. How consistent you are on the greens is largely a matter of natural feel and how well you can control it on any given day.
As a result, the weekend golfer will usually be forced to hit a lot of second putts from three to five feet.
The good news is that those putts can be improved without practicing. They are more of a mental exercise because the speed is much easier to gauge. For the most part it is a matter of getting the ball started on the correct line.
You can improve your ability to start the ball on line by making that your focus, rather than the technical aspects of the putting stroke. It doesn't matter what you do with the putter, or how you do it, as long as the ball starts on the line you have chosen.
By shifting your focus from the putting stroke itself to the line of the putt, you may find yourself hitting that line more frequently. And making more of those pesky short putts every day than you would by practicing the technical aspects of your stroke.
Now let me show you my putting solution.
