Those who are interested in the good old game of golf should know the tricks of trade associated with golf putting techniques. The key to good putting is to have an aligned vision from the top on the ball. Most golfers have fairly evolved putting skills which makes the competition all the more keen.

Tips to putt well include the following:

? Don?t use your wrist while hitting the ball. Your shoulders to do the swing while putting.

? Standing far away from the ball is not a good idea since it makes spotting the putting line difficult.

? Don?t complicate the putting technique that you use too much.

? Simple putting techniques are the best to use. Master one of them for your game so that you can use it conveniently.

? Make sure your putter has a good grip.

? Start with practicing small putts and use mental games to master the technique.

Start with hitting short putts so that you can control the distance you hit. Therefore , practicing short putts on various grounds and angles of downhill, uphill and straight lengths can be useful. This is even more essential while you are warming up for a game of golf. However, long putts should also be practiced adequately. It is important to derive confidence from watching the ball go into the hole. This comes with practicing short putts mostly.

Golf putting techniques should be reactionary and spontaneous all the time. Thinking and analyzing the best possible shots for putting can often destroy the stroke. Bad strokes are the result of over thinking a putting shot. The game should be played as a sport and not treated like a math problem to which you are figuring out the best possible process of solution.

Most of us can learn how to putt if we practice enough on the field. As long as you have a decent putter, a clear mind and a good swing of the shoulder you should be able to putt well enough. Starting with short putts is a good idea, and gradually you should practice long shots as well to maneuver the distance according to your plans.

Golf putting techniques should be practiced spontaneously. Simply look at the line of putting and the ball, swing your putt and hit it towards the target. If it hits it, then mission accomplished. If not, try again! Unless you practice you will never master the game.

Reading greens:

? If you are able to recognize the break of your putt well enough you should be able to turn every shot at the putt into a winning shot.

? If you have a number in mind regarding the break to the left, you should putt that exact number to the right.

? Try hitting a straight putt every time, as this has the highest chance of succeeding.

? Don?t worry too much about the speed of the putt. It should be instinctual.

Reading greens and mastering it is a gradual process. Don?t rush yourself into it. Eventually you should be able to make a good guess of the speed and the break of your putt.
