Hi! I am Jason Wyatt head golf professional here at Sunningdale Golf and County Club. On behalf of ExpertVillage.com, I am here to show you lefties how to putt better. Just a reminder again that I am a right-handed player, it is great because when I instruct my lefties we are a mirror image of each other. Putting is very crucial, this is probably the most important stroke in the game and the most improved stroke that you can make during your practicing. You practice a lot, you are going to see a lot better results especially with your score. When I set up to a putt, I would like to see that putt ball right in the middle of our stance like of all of our other shots, so we always start from the same position. We are going to take a small step forward, little bigger step back and just like chipping, we are going to put all of our weight on the front foot, okay, once you got all the weight on the front foot, now once again we have got a triangle made with our arms and with our shoulders, okay, once we have got that, now we have got to rock that triangle, once again just like chipping, we do not want to see people breaking their wrists, we see that a lot with amateur golfers. Set up follow forward stance, and it is going to rock your shoulders back and forth. Now one of biggest thing is people get their shoulders, they start moving with their arms, make sure it is your shoulders, your big muscles that move the putter blade back and forth and also make sure that when you make the putt, you keep your head down, I like to listen for the putt to go into the hole, so I set up, make the stroke, do not move my head and listen for it to go into the hole. If you use these tips, you will putt a lot better.
