- Read the green before every shot. Find a
spot behind your ball directly in line with the hole, then bend down
so you can see the slope of the green. If the slope is higher on one
side, the ball will curve to the lower side. Reading the green is
necessary for aiming. Oftentimes you will not aim at the hole but
rather at a spot inches away from the hole because of the slope or
curvature of the green.
- Determine your line. Set the putter head
square to the target by placing the putter blade at a right angle to
the intended line of the putt.
- Take a few practice swings to feel your
distance.
- Putting is a "quiet swing"
with a smooth, continuous stroke. Follow a pendulum motion and
maintain a constant pace from beginning to end.
