To improve your putting you need to practice learning how to read the golf green.  When you are walking up to the green get yourself into the routine of looking at the different slopes on the green, the length of the grass on the green and the direction of the wind. By taking all of this data into consideration you will be able to determine how much force to apply to your putt.

Understanding what putting really is will go along way to improving your putting.  You see putting is just a very short swing made with your putter.  Mastering this short swing is very important because when you are putting it is all about moving the golf ball into the hole.   Improving your putting is all about developing a nice smooth putting action.  When you become smoother you will have better control of both your putter and the golf ball.  Once you learn to consistently repeat a smooth putt your game will develop in leaps and bounds.

When you unable to get out and practice you putting on a grass green you may want to consider practicing indoor on your favorite college putting mat that can also double as a floor runner. Practice practice those short putts on a putting mat to improve your putting. It will help you reduce those three putts that we all hate.

The feel for putting comes and goes. There are days when your distance will feel pretty good, but it seems impossible to get the ball started on the right line?

If you are having a problem getting your ball started on the right line you may want to totally change your alignment and set up.

You might take a drastic step and open your stance A LOT, say 10 to 15 degrees.

This has helped many golfers to see the line a little better.

By making this change to your putting stance, you will find the stroke has a totally new feel.

You can always work on correcting a minor alignment problem on the putting green after the round, or on the putting mat at the house. But on the course, you need to get the ball in the hole right now. Sometimes that requires drastic measures.

The Boomerang Golf Putting Mat System is a perfect system for helping you practice your short putts and gain a better feel for the distance for your putts.

The worse thing that your golfing buddies can do for you is to say pick it up. “That is good.”

Each time you pick up your ball without putting it into the hole you are removing an opportunity to build your putting confidence. You are throwing away an opportunity to hear the sound of the ball hitting the bottom of the hole. You want to build you putting confidence during the round of golf.

The problem with picking up the ball is that it takes away from your confidence when you may need it to make an 18 inch putt when it is needed like putting for an eagle or maybe a birdie.

The best way to build your confidence is making all those gimme putts. Making all those gimmes will help you later when you are putting that putt under 10 feet for a birdie.  Making putts builds on the confidence of making putts.

Make yourself a commitment to make the last putt on every single hole, even the putts that are a foot away.  Watching the ball go in the hole will have a positive impact on building confidence in your putting over 18 holes.

Those three and five footers will also become easier when you watch those short putts go in on every hole.

Another way to build your putting confidence is practicing your putting on a practice putting mat such as the ProActive ProCircuit Putt Return System. The system will return the golf ball back to the position on the putting green from where you putted it so you can putt it again without having to retrieve the ball.

The ProActive Par Three Putting Green is a putting mat that will help you work on your short putts. The putting mat is basically a piece of soft turf glued to a piece of foam that lies flat on a hard surface. I recommend using double-sided carpet tape to secure the edges of the putting mat to the floor to hold it in place preventing it from moving while putting. The tape will also help the putting green lie flat and smooth on the floor.

This ProActive Par Three Hole Putting Green will provide hours of enjoyment for you, your family members, and your friends. You might consider holding a challenging putting contest between family members or friends. The putting practice surface is exactly what it looks like, a realistic piece of green outdoor carpeting with holes cut in it and foam rubber glued to the back. For practicing short putts, it provides a challenge that you will find will provide you the confidence to make more of those three foot putts during a round of golf.

This is good because it will help you to sharpen your putting skills and feel. Practicing on a putting mat should make the regulation cup to appear to be larger.
