Many thanks to Neil Cameron for giving up his time today to provide his tips on how to improve our putting. We all know that taking 2 putts instead of 3 will result in better scores, lower handicaps and increased playing satisfaction and Neil reminded us of the simple things we can all do to improve. He stressed the importance of having the right equipment (is your putter the correct type, length and does it have the most appropriate grip...) ... do you use the same make of golf balls every time...every round?
Neil also emphasised the benefits of developing the right technique - putt with your shoulders, not your hands, are you holding your putter properly, and count for 1 second before you lift your head!!!
We were asked how often we practice - clearly not enough!!! Neil suggested ways to make putting practice more structured and fun. And then a discussion we have had before - concentration ... chit chat, casual tap-ins and lack of attention should all be replaced with ball-marking, focus and routine.
We then had the opportunity to practice, with great feedback offered - so no more excuses!!
