Tips to Control Your Putting Speed

Written by Jordan Snider | Jul 9, 2018 3:00:01 AM

Practical Golf shares a video and a book to help you control your putting speed.  Undoubtedly, managing your putting speed is key to doing better on the greens.  If you control the speed on the first putt and keep the ball within 10 feet you will have increased the probability that the second putt could get you in. Unfortunately, putting is a skill that is often overlooked when golfers practice, yet this is often where multiple shots are made.

So what can you do to improve this essential skill:

  • practice, practice, practice
  • play games that challenge you to lag putts to certain distances around the hole
  • improve your putting stroke

Aim for 2 putts per hole and you will see a big difference in your final score.  If this is one area that you have failed to practice, you will see a change in your score.
