3 practice experiences for golfer to stay calm after a wrong put

In any case, breaking an easy putt often makes the player to lose his cool on the green. This may cause you to keep repeating the bad shots and the score gets worse.

"Once we have these short putts, the desire to make the putt outweighs the process of making a good stroke." Tasha Browner - one of the best young Golf instructors in the US. Golf Digest magazine pointed out the cause. "Golfers will have little shoulder movement and will only try to steer the ball in the hole with just hands. This directly leads to various problems with the clubface direction and speed." In order to help players avoid losing his control on the green, Browner shared 3 useful tips as follows:

Ball push exercises 

As its name suggests, this exercise is quite simple to limit only using hands only when making the putts. More specifically, when you practice putting, the player's task is only to push the ball towards the hole without taking any backswing. This exercise forces the golfer to move his body as a unit to finish the stroke, not just with his hands.

Keep the good putt in mind

Make a putt in front of the mirror (you can do it in your house) or set up on the putting green in a spot where you can see your shadow, and start making strokes. After a successful putt, remember how your shoulders and arms move together. Remembering the shoulder and arm position will help your body part really have a feeling of good putts, therefore it helps you stop worrying anymore.

Put pressure on practice

It is not useful to make aimless putts around the practice green when you are in a match. Instead, simulate difficult challenges when you practice. For example, don't leave the green until you have made 5 consecutive 4-footers in a row. Any kind of pressure you can put will make a contribution to a calm mind in those situations on the course.
