Golf Tips: Putting Position

Golfers often "pray" over putts.  "Dear golf gods.  Please let me make this bogey putt so that I may beat my opponent out of that darn $2.00 he won from me last week..." Did you know that the praying position, can help you make those putts you've been praying over?  Check out the golf instructional video below by the resident Frogger PGA professional Kris Moe.  In this putting video Kris shows us the basics of positioning the putter shaft on our hands and how it aligns with our arms.  He also discusses the putter grip, which is different than the grip we use on full swing shots.  Part of that difference and positioning is the "praying" position, which will help prevent us from breaking our wrists in the putting stroke and producing the dreaded "flip" stroke.  The flip almost never works. http://youtu.be/rROxCtdYHQM Next time you are at the practice putting green, try the praying position/grip.  Swing your shoulders and don't break your wrists.  Putts will roll straighter and more true.  You'll start draining those ever-important $2.00 nassau bet-winning putts!
