Golf putting tip

This is a simple drill but it goes to the heart of the problem on short putts. On all putts, really catching the ball square in the middle of the putter head is important. But it’s absolutely crucial on the short golf strokes.
Here is a way to see how you are making contact with the golf ball and to practice getting it right quickly and simply. First you need a piece of contact tape. You can get this from any golf pro or a golfing supply store. Put a piece of the tape on the face of your putter.
Now hit 10 putts and check the impact tape and see where you are making contact. There should be some type of pattern on the putter face. Look at how spread out the pattern is. If the impact pattern is pretty spread out from the dead center of the putter face, you aren’t stroking your putts consistently in the center or sweet spot of the putter face.
Now work on 10 putts without impact tape focusing on making contact in the center of the putter face with a smooth stroke. Then take 10 more putts with impact tape again on the face of the club again. Check your pattern again.
Do this for a few days and you will see a definite improvement in your short putts!
