Putting exercises - suggestions please

[matt611]

I keep missing putts to the right, I think I'm pushing them. Does anyone have suggestions of things I can do to fix this? I've tried creating a tunnel of tees for my putter to pass through but this hasn't helped.

Many thanks

It's a band aid rather than a cure, but you could try moving your right hand round the grip to the right as far as you physically can. Can't push a putt if your hand can't open any more.

Face open at impact?

Lesson? Easier than second guessing

i worked indoors over winter using something similar to this for ensuring a clean strike, http://www.gamolagolf.co.uk/acatalog/Eyeline_Sweet_Spot_360_Training_Aid.html

A good tip I got from a pro that may help with this and can be done indoors with your ball almost against a skirting board/wall. Take your stance with the toe of the putter virtually touching the skirting board/wall and the ball in the middle of the face as usual, then just take your stroke as usual. The key is to keep the putter head straight and aligned so the ball comes off the face straight using the wall as a guide to help. If you open or close the face it will scrape against the wall so helps you keep it straight.

Thanks for the suggestions. I realise that a lesson would be best, but just not practical right now.

It's annoying to be missing putts only just right but I hope as its a consistent miss it should be easier to fix by myself...hopefully

Keep your head still and keep your eyes the spot the ball has just left until long after the it's gone!

Are you standing open?

Try putting with your feet together and see what happens.

When you stand up to the ball do you lead with your left or right?

And have a paint brush handy to repair the scuffs before the missus sees them

If your on the practice putting green stick 2 tee pegs in the ground 1 either side of you putter, leave the gap between the 2 pegs only just wide enough to get the putter through, then do some putts without touching the 2 tee pegs with your putter
