Using a putter line to Sink your putt
Creating a set of putting routines exists as an essential element to your
game of golf. It helps focus your mind, creating the confidence to ensure your
game flows smoothly with you scoring consistently. Having a series of
simplistic procedures can help strengthen this integral part of your round of
golf.
Putting warm up before your golf round
Before your round commences, take time to warm-up on the putting practice area. There’s a great chance that this will help relax your putting swing. In addition, it gives you a feel for the green conditions, in contemplation of that day’s weather. Wet or dry conditions affect ball speeds upon the putting green.
One of the commonly overlooked aspects of putting remains the focus on
reading the green. Make sure as you approach the putting-area that you’re
taking note of the slopes on the green. Getting a good read’s essential to
holing your putt.
Clean your putter before and after you take a putt!
Handling your putter remains another great routine to adopt, even as you approach the green have your putter ready. This creates a psychological connection with the most frequently used club in your golf-bag. You will unconsciously begin to think how to swing your putter. Give the putter’s face a wipe too. This serves two functions. The first’s to literally remove any physical dust or mud from the surface. The second function helps wipe any mentally negative thoughts from your mind. Confidence remains integral to good putting, so remaining positive is the key here.
Always ensure your ball is marked correctly on the green with your ball
marker. Pick up your ball to clean it thoroughly. This will help remove any
detritus from your ball allowing it to travel freely upon the green. Take note
of the grass length with observation to any moisture on the green. These
factors will impede your ball’s speed. Remove any impediments from the line
your ball will take to the hole. Twigs, stones, and worm casts will need
removal before you take your putt. These obstacles will cause your ball to
bounce off its intended line if left in place.
How to read a golf green - the slopes and slides
Visualize the line your ball will take to reach the hole. You have already seen the slopes from your approach now you need to take two further readings of the green. From the ball to the hole, kneel down looking at how the slopes will move the ball. If you need to putt uphill, you will require more force on your putting swing. In reverse, if your ball travels down a slope then adjust the force appropriately. The second reading to take runs from behind the hole looking towards the ball. Look for confirmation of the slopes you read previously.Preparation - and Keeping Your Head Down when Putting
Make sure you take three preparation swings with an imaginary ball. It’s always wise to make sure your practise swings remain clear from your ball to avoid a penalty if you accidentally make contact. Confirm the line the ball needs to travel with your rehearsal swings judging the speed required to make your ball sink. Keep your head down while breathing deep to help relax. Many golfers lift their head too early, causing the swing of the putter to come out of alignment.
Simple putting routines will make your round highly enjoyable while reducing
your golf handicap. Just remember to read the greens, clean your ball removing
any permitted obstacles on the route to the hole. Ensure you have the correct
line combined with the required pace to allow your ball to reach the hole. Stay
relaxed by breathing deeply watching with great relish, as your ball sinks into
the hole, time-after-time.
Ok, I just wanted to clear something up from my previous email.
ReplyDeleteIt seems my suggestion about how Mr Miyagi and the Karate Kid could help you create your perfect, powerful and repeatable golf swing confused some people…and even caused some concern that I’d lost my marbles!
I know the connection sounds a bit crazy, but let me explain…
In my last email I said: “If you remember why Mr Miyagi was teaching the Karate Kid to “Wax On, Wax Off”, then Michael’s 6 Step Golf Lesson will make perfect sense to you.”
No?…Still not making any sense?
Well, it’s all about the true secret to a powerful, repeatable golf swing….muscle memory. Here’s what I mean:
(If you’ve never seen the 1980’s Karate Kid movie and plan to watch it soon, this is a spoiler alert!)
In the film, the young student, Daniel, asked the old Master, Mr Miyagi, to teach him karate. When Mr Miyagi reluctantly agreed, Daniel expected to be trained how to kick butt right then and there. Instead Mr Miyagi confused his eager student by making him polish his old car. But more importantly he insisted Daniel use very specific arm movements. So, using big outward circular movements Daniel had to “wax on” with one hand and “wax off” with the other.
Absolutely nothing to do with karate…or so we thought! We were so wrong!
It turns out that later in the movie young Daniel uses these exact “wax on, wax off” movements to powerfully deflect incoming punches and kicks from his nasty opponent.
Daniel unknowingly learned these vital defence moves easily, embedding them deep in his muscle memory, so they became second-nature and completely automated.
That’s what Michael Bannon’s 6 Step Golf Lesson does for your golf swing.

It embeds your perfect swing deep in your muscle memory, automating it and creating more power and accuracy.
The training is unique but it’s not difficult, in fact you might be tempted to think it’s TOO EASY…but don’t let yourself be fooled. Just like the karate kid, have faith in the Master’s teaching.
Check it out for yourself right here. ===> Karate helps golf?…Really?? <=====
Just as Daniel put his trust in Mr Miyagi, you can put your trust in Michael Bannon. After all, if Rory McIlroy believes in him, I guess you can too.
See you inside.
