As you follow through on putts, hold the finish position. Why? Your brain needs to learn the proper body position in conjunction with the correct pace and rhythm for you to become a better putter.
Downhill Putts “Knee Knockers”
Downhill putts can be nerve racking. They don’t have to be. Let’s talk about a couple of simple thoughts and actions that make them easier to deal with.
Putts from off the Green
Putts from off the green can be in different forms depending upon your lie. Use your putter when you can, but putting with irons or hybrids may come in handy as well.
Tour Read App Review
The “Tour Read” app is the real deal when it comes to digital green reading. I don’t say that lightly. I have devices that measure slope, but this “app” gives you the actual break and pace for putts.
Setting up Drills

Make a plan right from the tee box. Then reevaluate your plan once you get on the green. I’ve included an example from a recent round featuring our championship greens. In the article I show why it’s important to “make a plan.”
Air Swings – Blast Motion
Air Swings are something new with the latest update from Blast Motion Golf. The new feature allows you to practice swings and record data without hitting a golf ball.

Drills are a popular page on this site. I made up two printable drills Portable Document Files or PDFs. The idea is to have a mix of drills. There are putting and short game drills which include score keeping.
Practice Balls
I’ve used practice balls since I started to play golf many years ago. Back when I started, we used whiffle balls in the yard. Recently, I purchased Callaway HX Soft-Flight Colored Foam Practice Golf Balls. A lime green 18 pack.
Bags for Accessories

It was time for new golf grips. There is a wide variety out there. Today’s article is on which ones I chose and why.

Etiquette on the practice range or practice green has a direct impact on their quality of use. No one is perfect, but taking care of the practice area makes it better for everyone.
Compact Putting Mirror
