Golf Tips: Short Putts

Frogger PGA Pro Kris Moe has helped us put together a great library of easy to understand, easy to implement golf tips which can help your game quickly.  These tips are short and simple, not too much information or too many concepts to try and wrap your head or your golf clubs around. A place where many amateur golfers lose many strokes is by missing short, easy putts.  How many times do you see it happen in a round?  Lack of concentration, lack of tempo, and a lack of keeping the putter face square all lead to 3-putts or worse. Short putts are not hard.  Most amateurs make them harder than they need to be.  Even if the putter face is off a degree or two, the putt will still go in on a 2-3 foot putt.  Therefore the first part of Kris's advice on short putts is to simply concentrate on returning the putter face to square, or as close to square as possible at impact. http://youtu.be/YExrEjSvj5A The second part of the advice is to simply make sure you have a good putting stroke tempo.  No stabbing at the putt.  No deceleration.  Take the putter back at a smooth tempo and putt through the ball toward the target at the same tempo. That's it!  Those two small things to concentrate on can make a big difference on the score card.
