Golf Tips: Leave Your Marker when Putting

Have you ever stubbed the ground when putting?  It can be quite embarrassing and needless to say the ball isn't going to go anywhere close to going in.  Even worse is when you stub a putt so bad that the putter doesn't get to the ball!  Today we are going to discuss a very easy drill to help prevent stubbing of putts, which also helps you to focus on the sweet spot of the putter. Leave The Marker Most people mark their golf balls on the green with a coin or round marker of some sort.  Our drill today is simple and involves such a marker.  Put your coin or marker down behind the ball like normal and leave it there.  Put the putter up behind the coin and try to putt the ball without striking or moving the marker. Start with a small coin first, like a dime.  When you have that down, move to a nickel or quarter.  From there you can even move up to a casino chip style marker.  When you can freely putt without moving the casino marker and have the feel engrained in your brain, you're good to go!
