When you are practicing on your own, it is not the amount of time you spend that counts, but your ability to invest that time wisely. Always have a plan of action in mind. What shot(s) do I work on today? Today let’s practice putting. Have the basic fundamentals in mind when you begin:

• Eyes over the target line
• Line up the putter blade before you take your stance
• Take your stance . . . knees, hips, shoulders and eyes parallel to the target line
• Light grip pressure and firm wrists throughout the shot
• Swing the putter back only with your shoulders (no lower body movement)
• Head remains still throughout the shot
• Accelerate forward “through the ball”, finishing further forward than back

We’ll see that you gain a thorough understanding of basic fundamentals.
