What is how to put?

Here's some information on putting in golf, with important aspects linked:

Putting is arguably the most important part of golf, as it accounts for a significant portion of your overall score. It involves using a putter on the green to roll the ball into the hole.

  • Grip: A consistent and comfortable grip is crucial. Popular options include the reverse overlap, the cross-handed grip, and the prayer grip.
  • Stance: A balanced and stable stance is important. Feet are typically shoulder-width apart with your eyes directly over the ball.
  • Alignment: Aiming correctly is key. Use the putter's alignment aids to line up your shot.
  • Stroke: A smooth, pendulum-like stroke is ideal. Try to minimize wrist movement. Keep your head still throughout the stroke.
  • Distance Control: Judging the correct force to apply is vital. Practice putting from various distances. Consider the green's slope and speed.
  • Reading Greens: Accurately assessing the break is essential. Look for the high and low points of the green. Consider grain, wind, and moisture.
  • Putter Selection: Choose a putter that feels comfortable and suits your stroke type. Different putter head styles (blade, mallet) can affect performance.
  • Practice: Consistent practice is the best way to improve your putting. Focus on both short and long putts.
