Putting In Golf – Double Or Nothing

Putting In Golf – Double Or Nothing

When it comes to golf and putting many golfers find it pretty easy, although when you begin to get to six and eight foot putts then the golfer usually gets a bit uneasy. In many situations even the best golfer will actually second guess whether they can make the shot or not.

While reading up on the game of golf myself I came across a golfer’s strategy for putting and even though I thought it was a bit odd, I’m convinced those golfers that play the game of golf a lot know exactly what it means.

Apparently, the trick to becoming a better putter and to essentially have a better golfing experience an individual should imagine a second hole. It is supposed to relieve the mental anxiety of the golfer in some ways.

This imaginary hole should be between the real hole and the golfer. This of course means that if an individual is six to eight feet away from the hole you then imagine a hole four feet away from you.

After this strangely enough, the golfer focuses on the imaginary hole and the idea of getting his or her golf ball to pass directly through the imagined hole. By doing this then it’s a direct line to the real hole. This is a bit on the strange aspects of fundamentals for golfing however; it really does make sense of some type and degree. There are some things an individual should be aware of when making this type of golfing shot however, and one of those things is the amount of force put into the swing so it gets to the real hole. Its literally hard to believe something such as this would work; although it is like seeing double and there are many golfers who do this and it works well for them.

Although, this technique might not work for all golfers it could at least be experimented with or tried a time or two during practice and the individual could actually decide if it will work for them or not.

When it comes to a good game of golf any professional golfer as well as amateur will tell you that the real part of golfing has to be the technique of putting. It is an essential part of golfing and to master that portion of playing golf is a success within itself.

There are many books, DVD’s, and other material that can be purchased to help individuals learn more about the game of golf. There are also several web sites via the Internet that give additional details about golf and how it is played as well. There are even some web sites that have equipment that can be purchased for the game of golf too.
