There is a famous golf saying: "The tee shot is a performance, and only accurate putts can win money." As the saying goes, the secret of golf scoring is revealed. So, how can you achieve accurate and perfect putting?

The key to winning is confidence

If you have ever watched a professional golf match, have you noticed that the posture of professional players on the green is almost different for everyone? ? However, if you analyze it carefully, you can still see the tricks of the good players. The key point of a master's putting skills lies in his confidence that exceeds that of ordinary people. These good putters may have different movements, but with the posture when they pick up the putter, almost every putter has a chance of going into the hole. It can be said that pushing forward is normal, and if not, God will destroy him.

The average person may hit the ball far, but when they get to the green, they often have to putt more than three times to get into the hole. The key is confidence. Due to lack of confidence, the distance of the first putt is often not enough. If the difference between the first shot of 7 yards is more than one meter, it may result in three putts. Also because of lack of confidence, it is easier to stick to a specific putting posture instead of using the posture that you are accustomed to and feel comfortable with. The consequences can be imagined.

How to observe the grass pattern on the green

Of course, technology is not unimportant, it is the most basic. For example, the posture of the putter, or observing the grass patterns on the green, are related to the speed and direction of the ball rolling.

There are two main types of green grass in domestic golf courses: one is Bermuda grass, a common subtropical grass species, and the other is cold-resistant Bent grass. Bentgrass greens are soft greens and are very expensive to maintain. However, when putting on them, you only need to pay attention to the slope of the green. The growth direction of the grass on Bermuda grass greens turns out to be affected by three factors: sunlight, water, and topography. However, since the current golf course drainage and sprinkler systems are more developed, water and topography have little impact on the growth direction of the grass. The biggest influencing factor right now is probably sunlight. If you want to know which way the grass grows, it's best to ask your caddy which way the sun rises and sets. Asking about the direction of the sun is much deeper than asking about the growth patterns of grass.

Three basic points of putting posture:

1. Grip posture

Whether you put your right hand on top of your left hand or your left hand under your right hand, Still holding the pole with both hands separately, the most important thing is the balance of both hands. This doesn’t mean you can change your grip every time you pick up the putter. It is recommended that you find a grip position that you think is most comfortable, and do not change movements frequently. What you need is to get used to it.

There are three most common holding positions. Vardon Grip: Use your right hand to raise the putter shaft; use the last three fingers of your left hand to hold the arc part of the putter grip, and press your left thumb down on the grip plane; then use your right hand to Stack it on your left hand and try to keep your hands balanced. Reverse-Overlap Grip: This grip is very similar to the above grip. The biggest difference is that the left index finger covers the top of the right finger. Reverse-Handed Grip: The grip posture is very similar to the above two grips. The biggest difference is that the left hand is placed under the right hand. This grip method was first seen only by the famous German player Bernhard Langer. Nowadays, whenever professional players lose their grip, you will see this posture appear.

2. Ball position

The normal ball position is to place the ball in front of the left toe. If you encounter downhill terrain, you can move the ball to Between the two feet.

3. Putting the ball into the hole

The first is to aim: find a target and imagine a straight line through the center of the club.

Don't get too close to the straight line formed by your feet, but make sure the club face is square to the target. This is also the path you need to follow when hitting the ball. Don't tilt your head or you will distort your vision. Then hit the ball: The stroke of the putter should be controlled by your shoulders and arms, and maybe a little wrist movement. Reduce body movements and try not to shift your center of gravity or rotate your hips. It should be noted that a successful putt includes preparation before the swing and a follow-through movement of the same length. This promotes acceleration and helps you control distance. One of the most common mistakes is to swing the club out too early, then sit on top of the ball on the downswing and wait to see how the ball hits. Remember to hit the ball over the ball, not just over it.
