Golf Putting Swing



Putting is one of the most essential skills you will have to learn in Golf. Putting decides the outcome of each hole and good Putting skills can make the difference between bogeys and birdies. Unlike the Full Golf Swing, the Putting Swing is much more subtle and the movements are much smaller. The Putting Swing is also called the Pendulum-like Swing since you move your Golf Club like a pendulum. In this Golf Swing, your elbow and wrist retain their positions from address to finish.

STEP 1: Stand behind the Golf Ball and check the area first, particularly the line of putt.

STEP 2: Practice your Putting stroke a few times before actually doing it.

STEP 3: Move towards the ball. Your eyes should be directly over the ball. Check the line of putt to make sure that you are in the right position. Take your Putter about ten inches away from the ball.

STEP 4: Strike the ball.

STEP 5: Go ten inches into the Follow-Through. Note that the movement of your Golf Club must be like the movement of a clock pendulum. With all things equal, the ball will travel longer downhill and shorter uphill. The trick in Putting stroke is distance control. Try practicing with different distances in the Backswing and the Forward Swing.This way you determine how far the golf ball will roll on the ground when a swing of a certain length is applied to it.


Becoming good at Putting is a matter of practice in which you gain a feeling for Putting and learn how to better read the Green. Still, having a good Putting technique will help tremendously.
