Putting Golf Tips
When putting, you need to roll the golf ball forward, without the backspin.
A good roll forward includes topspin, which will propel it toward the hole instead of veering off to the right or left of the hole. Too many poor players emphasize just hitting the ball rather than concentrating on how to get the ball to roll properly.
Try some awareness of your foot placement. By putting a little more weight on you back foot you encourage the putter will strike to ball more on the upswing causing a nice roll forward. Too much weight on the forward foot causes a steeper putting stroke and backspin.
So a nice upswing stroke with weight slightly on the back foot with focused concentration on the target should get the ball to it’s destination.
