If you find that you are having difficulty getting up tothe hole on medium and long range putts, check that youdon't have the ball positioned too far back in your stance.

If the ball is too far back, the hands may get ahead ataddress and this can lead to a downward strike on the ballproducing backspin and causing the ball to stop quickerthan you might anticipate.If the ball is positioned further forward in the stance,with the hands above or even slightly behind the ball, itis more likely that the putter will strike the ball on theupswing, imparting overspin and making it run further. Here is a great system to improve your golf

Golf Domination! putting tip, for dropping in Those Long Putts

When faced with a long putt, carefully study the green for overall slope, individual breaks, grain, wind speed and other factors that may influence your stoke.

Having decided on the proper target line, pick a spot along the line a few feet in front of your golf ball and aim for that.

Once your feet and the face of your putter are squared to the target, begin to think in terms of speed and distance.

Try to visualize the ball rolling along the desired path and into the hole. Then make your putt with confidence.

putting tip| Putt Like a Pendulum

When putting, your hands should always be slightly ahead of the club head and the ball.

Your arms and shoulders should form a triangle that moves in unison during your back swing and stroke-much like a pendulum.

Just slide the club back without breaking your wrists and the forward again. Be sure to follow through straight along the line of your putt.

More putting tip to help you improve your game

Place two clubs parallel to the line towards the cup on either side of the ball. Check to see you are swinging your putter through a straight line.

Place a two by four parallel to the line towards the cub outside of the ball. Check to see you are swinging your putter through in a straight line.

Mark the sweet spot with a piece of tape (a half inch by a half inch should do it). See if you can it the sweet spot with each putt.

Place 6 golf balls in a circle around the hole about 4 feet away. Putt each one in turn. Can you make all six? Remember to read the green before each.

In order to aim for the center of the hole, Place four tees in front of the hole with enough room for a golf ball to squeak through. Try from two and four feet out.

For long putts, use the distance on the practice green. Start with your short putt routine and then hit three from 20 feet. Then three more. Then three more. Are they getting closer?

Remember 90 percent of long putting is judgement of distance.

Contacting the Ball with the Putter

An important thing to remember when putting is the action of the ball itself. A ball that is struck in the center runs much truer than one struck below or above the center. The latter reacts to any irregularity of the green, but the ball hit amidships rolls over most green imperfections without losing its line. With this in mind I advise my pupils to modify in their own minds the old rule to keep the putter as low to the ground as possible. If you put a ball down on your living room carpet or on a green and place one of today's narrow-bladed putters behind it, you will notice that the center of the ball is in line with the top of the blade.

Consequently, when you putt, you should make a small adjustment in your stroke and concentrate on bringing the center of the blade through the center of the ball. When you make this kind of contact you'll hear that nice crisp sound all good putters produce.

On uphill putts I think you will find you'll get a helpfully strong over-spin on the ball if you shut the face of putter slightly. Conversely, on downhill putts where delicacy is needed, the face of the putter is "turned uphill," or laid back just a shade.

Here's another good putting tip drill for you to work on ideally in front of a mirror at home.

Trap the shaft of a club underneath your arms, across your chest, and address the ball as normal.

As you putt, make sure the shaft remains firmly in place against your chest.

This will help you maintain the necessary shoulders and arms triangle formation, which is essential to a solid, repeating putting stroke.
