Mastering Putting for Golf Success

If you master putting, you master the game of golf. A confident putter is always a great putter.

Putting, which is a game within a game, is an important component of golf. Golf success demands the composite of a great putter and a great swinger. Therefore, a great putter makes a great golfer. Be a confident putter.

Confidence in putting can be learned and acquired through practice. To be a confident putter, you must consciously block off all your missed putts or strokes. Always choose to remember your good putts, instead of the bad ones. Do not let the memory of missed putts haunt you with anxiety or frustration. Do not harbor any instructional thoughts from golf books, fellow golfers, or even your coach; just let your subconscious mind take over your putting strokes. A confident putter develops the mental discipline of shutting off any conscious thought from the mind; this is where mental golf comes into play. Narrow down your target—not just focusing on it. That is to say, train your mind to see not just the hole, but a narrower and smaller target, such as a blade of grass, or a tiny edge of the hole. That kind of mental concentration and focus enables you to have a much better control of your body movements, especially, your muscles and reflexes. Remember, perfect putting, just like a perfect golf swing, has to be spontaneous, and spontaneity controls the mind, and hence the response of the body. Confidence holds the key to perfect putting for golf success.

A confident putter creates a positive mental image the putts; and never complains the missed putts. Reinforce your positive image with visualization. Tap into the power of visualization. On every putt, try to "see" in your mind's eye, your golf ball going into the hole. Remember, seeing is believing. It is important that you believe that you are a confident putter and you can do it.
