If you’re consistently hitting your putts off line then you’re probably setting up wrong which is a really easy thing to fix, try this series of tips and you’ll be putting straight in no time!
Tip 1
Line the ball up with your left eye...

Fluffing chips and pitches is a common mistake to make and is easily corrected by using a narrow and open stance. Make sure you keep your upper arms touching your chest as you rotate you upper body. This avoids you jabbing at the ball and fluffing it.
Decent golf tips are difficult to come by so I’m going to start adding a new one every couple of days so you can practice your skills over the winter. All of these tips can be practiced in the range or out on the course.
Try them out while you’re at the range by printing one off and taking it with you, or just look it up on your mobile while you’re there. Remember though, don’t fry your brain by trying too many tips at once, just master each one at a time and you’ll get some real success.
If you’re just starting out in golf, get lessons. It’s so worthwhile and will set you up properly for the future. I was taught by my dad which was great but meant that I instantly copied all his bad habits which still haunt me today.
If you’re an internediate golfer, then you should find these tips extremely helpful. Learn how to draw the ball, fade the ball, swing better, aim better, grip better. Quite simply, everything you need.
If you’re a pro, then leave some comments or maybe write a tip or two for the rest of us so we can enjoy some of your success!
