| Putting Drills to Improve Your Fundamentals |
We highly recommend you set up a schedule to practice these golf putting drills in order to make the time you do devote to it to be as productive as possible. Also, when you do go golfing, plan on getting there a least fifteen to twenty minutes early so you will have to spend on the practice green. This will be time well spent and well help you get your feel and rhythm on track. In time both your confidence and score will greatly improve.
Hitting a golf ball and putting have nothing in common. They're two different games. You work all your life to perfect a repeating swing that will get you to the greens, and then you have to try to do something that is totally unrelated. There shouldn't be any cups, just flag sticks. And then the man who hit the most fairways and greens and got closest to the pins would be the tournament winner.

I've heard people say putting is 50 percent technique and 50 percent mental. I really believe it is 50 percent technique and 90 percent positive thinking, see, but that adds up to 140 percent, which is why nobody is 100 percent sure how to putt.
