Putting Instruction For The Weekend Muni-Golfer

Putting Instruction For The Weekend Muni-Golfer

Article by Jim Masters









Look you could watch the golf channel all you want on putting instruction from all the teachers and pro’s but the bottom line if you are anything like me you don’t have the time to go out everyday and put their concepts to work. Like myself and most of the world we’ve got jobs and families that we need to make priority #1. But, when you have the opportunity to get out on a Saturday morning you want to make the best of it. Right?

Well, in this article I’m going to just give you a couple of tips that you can take with you to the course Saturday morning and make more putts!

The first thing you need to realize about putting is that you don’t want to think about hitting the ball. You want to think about rolling the ball to the hole. You see unlike hitting a golf ball, putting takes touch and finesse. If you simply step up to the ball and try and hit it you will not be able to control your distance.

So for the first putting instruction tip – Think roll the ball to the hole.

Second, don’t spend to much time trying to read the greens. Thinking to much in putting will only restrict your ability to make putts. What you want to do is just decide weather your going uphill or downhill. Is the putt going left or right. And once you get those two things figured out simply pick your line you want to putt the ball on and again think roll the ball to that spot.

So for the second putting instruction tip – Don’t spend to much time trying to read the green.

Lastly, focus your attention on making those 3 to 4 footers and don’t play to much break.

How many times have you hit a good drive, nice approach shot and left yourself with that 20 foot birdie putt and then just lipped out that putt and left yourself with that 3 footer left for par and stepped up and missed it turning that birdie opportunity into a disappointing bogey?

Well, I can relate. Because it seems like this happens more times than not. Those putts are crucial to you having a good round or not having a good round.

When facing those 3 to 4 footers make yourself stay focused and don’t play a lot of break. Simply make yourself concentrate on the back of the cup and make a good solid firm stroke and you will make more than you miss!

In Closing:

Putting instruction for the average weekend muni- golfer doesn’t have to be over complicated. Simply incorporate the tips I listed above and you will make your fair share of putts.

I hope you were able to get some good valuable information out of this article.

Have the confidence to go for what you want with online learning

Well it’s my last year of university and I am looking forward to completing my degree with good grades, a wealth of knowledge behind me and a good outlook on the future. After I get my results I am going to meet my fellow students where we will celebrate with a few drinks and a celebratory meal.

The only difference between us and the thousands of other students who will receive their degrees this year is that we are students taking our degrees online rather than in classrooms. In fact this will only be the third time that I and my fellow students have met each other face to face.

I have been doing my online degree with Kaplan open learning. As a mum with a full time job I didn’t think that I would ever have the opportunity to go back to university. There was so much that I wanted to do with my life but as I lacked a degree I also found that I lacked the confidence to apply for the jobs that I really wanted.

That all changed when my daughter came home from college one day and told me that she was thinking of doing an online degree after she finished her final exams in June. At first I didn’t like the idea but the more I looked into it the more I started thinking that it might be something I would like to do myself. In the end my daughter decided to go away to university to meet more people and experience a bit more independence but I was still hooked on the idea of home learning.

I finally decided on the best accredited online degree for my and applied. More and more UK Universities are posting their resources online for the benefit of students by putting up resources such as podcasts, notes and powerpoint presentations to help students catch up when they are busy with assignments. Putting a whole course online is just taking it one step further and seems to make perfect sense. A quality resource is Kaplan Distance Learning.

I would feel out of place in lecture halls full of bright young students and the idea that I would have to commute and take time off work to attend hourly lessons was ludicrous. This coupled with the huge amount of money it would have taken to send my daughter and myself to university gave me confidence that I was doing the right thing by learning at home and in my own time.

I chose a course in Business Management as It was something I was interested in and believed would help take me to a higher level in my current job as a sales team coordinator. The course exceeded my expectations and the joy of learning an interesting subject in an innovative atmosphere gave me a huge sense of achievement.

I honed my internet skills navigating round a ‘virtual’ classroom where you could compare notes and chat to other students which was not hard as there were only 24 of us in the class. I felt as though I received a huge amount of support from tutors and at no point did I feel like I was doing anything less than a worth while and beneficial degree.

Thanks to my online university I now have the confidence to always go for what I want.
