How to make any Golf Putt

*Not guaranteed to work 100% of time.

First things first, the mental aspect. You must be strong mentally to make a putt in golf. If you are confident and optimistic and can picture the ball rolling into that small hole, you can make it from thirty feet out. However, if you are pessimistic and think to yourself that it will not go in, chances are it won't, even from a mere three feet! Putting is toughest part of the golf game and you must be mentally prepared before you take on a putt from any given length or distance.

Now onto the mechanics. The basic setup: You can use a ball marker to mark your ball and pick it up and realign the straight lines of the ball towards the hole to use as a guideline for direction. Place the lines towards the hole as precisely as you can. Next, stand over the ball with your head over the golf ball taking a few seconds to think about how hard it needs to be hit. Take into account hills, slopes, and other aspects of the putting surface (green) that may draw it askew. Never let your eyes leaves the ball and make a slow, short, and straight back swing, keeping the putter head close to the ground at all times and then accelerate into the ball at the speed you determined before you hit the ball.

Most importantly, BE CONFIDENT and DO NOT DECELERATE into the golf ball! If you defy these main rules, the ball going in would be pure 100% luck.

Now go and one/two putt every green!
