Great putting drill

Next time your practicing on the putting green, try this drill, it could save you some strokes!

Grab 2 tees and stick them in the green just on the outsides of your putter head. This creates a gate for your putter. Place a dime on the green and hit some balls to it keeping your putter head within that gate. If you hit one of the tees, you know your swinging either out to in, or in to out. This drill will keep your putter head moving on a consistent path causing you to make more solid contact in the center of your putter. Get a good feel for it, hit about 1000 putts, then go out and have fun on the course!

Have you ever been in a situation around the green when you find your ball almost floating on the very top of the rough?  If you have, well this tip may help you.

When making a stroke in the rough, always make sure that you grip up on the club a little more making it shorter.  This will allow you to make a swing without bottoming the club as much and catch more of the ball than the rough.  Make a few practice swings just skimming the very top of the grass and when your ready, set up to the ball normally and make a smooth easy pitch.  Be confident and make the shot!  hope this helps.
