putting tips, for dropping in Those Long Putts

When faced with a long putt, carefully study the green for overall slope, individual breaks, grain, wind speed and other factors that may influence your stoke.

Having decided on the proper target line, pick a spot along the line a few feet in front of your golf ball and aim for that.

Try to visualize the ball rolling along the desired path and into the hole. Then make your putt with confidence.

When putting, your hands should always be slightly ahead of the club head and the ball.

Your arms and shoulders should form a triangle that moves in unison during your back swing and stroke-much like a pendulum.
