Want to shave strokes off your game? Start by mastering short putts! The 3-foot putt may seem simple, but it can make or break your score. Here’s how to sink more of them with confidence:
1. Keep Your Head Still
Many missed short putts happen because golfers peek too early. Keep your head steady and listen for the ball to drop into the cup.
2. Use a Light Grip
Gripping the putter too tightly creates tension in your hands and arms. Keep a relaxed grip to ensure a smooth, controlled stroke.
3. Pick a Spot & Commit
Instead of looking at the hole, focus on a tiny spot where you want the ball to roll. Commit to your line and trust your stroke.
4. Maintain a Smooth Tempo
A quick, jabby stroke leads to inconsistency. Keep your motion smooth and controlled for better accuracy.
5. Practice with a Purpose
Try the “circle drill” by placing 6–8 balls around the hole at 3 feet. Make them all in a row before moving on. This builds confidence and consistency under pressure.
