Putting Under Pressure: Learn How To Hole More Putts When It Counts MostEveryone wants to make a putt when there is something on the line. Putting under pressure is a skill that can be developed by anyone. Whether you are putting to win a major championship or just for a couple of bucks with your weekly playing partners, you can learn how to make putts when it matters most.
3 Tips For Putting Better Under PressureTip #1) Maintain good tempo with your putter.Many missed putts especially under pressure are cause by either rushing your putting stroke or making your stroke too jerky and not smooth. Good tempo is important because this naturally allows the putter head to swing on the correct path more easily. Tip #2) Don't peek. With pressure putts there is usually something on the line. When we focus on what it is we are going to get or think about how much we have to make a putt. It is common to move your head too quickly before we finished completely our putting stroke to look and see if the ball went in. If you lift your head even a split second to early before the putter has gone through all the way, you will pull your putter face off line. When this happens, the chances of holing your putt go down significantly. It's especially important on short putts to keep your head down and stroke through the ball completely before looking to see where it went. Tip# 3) Stick to your routine. Having a solid and consistent putting routine is important for being a good putter. A good putting routine will help give you comfort and familiarity on every putt even when you are putting to win a match or for some other prize. Your routine should always be the same amount of time. If you take a certain number of practice putting strokes, make sure to take the same number on each putt. If you get in the habit of treating every putt the same, your pressure putts will turn out better for you.
