Pre-round putting routine

Gareth Johnston, 02 December 2011 10:31

It’s very important to make the most of any spare time you get before you tee off, especially in a competition. Ultimately, on the greens is where shots are often lost, especially early on in the round. This ideal putting routine from TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston will not only help you gauge the pace of the greens but also ...

Be positive on short putts

Gareth Johnston, 25 August 2011 09:36

A good putting stroke comprises a gentle acceleration of the putter through the impact area. When club golfers swing the putter back too far, especially on shorter putts, the tendency then is for the putter face to over-rotate, making it more difficult to square it at impact. To combat this fault, you can place a tee behind the ball to ...

Use your face-balanced putter more effectively

Gareth Johnston, 12 August 2011 13:56

Face-balanced putters are designed to stay much squarer throughout your putting stroke. This differs from toe-weighted putters that form the more blade-style, which are designed to rotate much more during the stroke. To use your face-balanced putter more effectively, form a gate of tees around your ball, as explained here by TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston. This helps keep the ...

Putter release drill

Gareth Johnston, 12 August 2011 13:50

Releasing the putter correctly is an essential quality in squaring the face consistently. Golfers that try and guide the ball into the hole with too much body movement have too many moving parts, creating excessive putter face rotation. A great drill to improve the release of your putter is to take your lead hand off and place it around your ...

Groove a neutral putting stroke

Gareth Johnston, 20 April 2011 17:08

Whatever your swing thought is when standing over a putt, you could benefit from having a more neutral putting stroke, where the putter swings back and through on the right path with minimal rotation or twisting of the clubhead. This simple drill from TG Elite Teaching Pro Gareth Johnston gives you instant feedback if the putter head moves too far ...

Try this putting pre-shot routine

Gareth Johnston, 20 April 2011 17:02

You can tell when a golfer is thinking too much about a putt when they freeze over the ball. You expect them to start to swing the putter back yet the movement doesn’t come and when it does, the ball rarely drops! Over-thinking certainly hinders the quality of the stroke. You can eliminate this from happening in your game by ...

Listen, don’t look!

Gareth Johnston, 01 April 2011 10:11

Many amateur golfers try and get a sneak peak at the ball dropping into the hole too early during the stroke causing the shoulders to open and the path of the putter through the ball to change. As TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston explains in this golf video tip, by keeping the head looking down at the ground after impact, ...

Swing the putter to the target

Gareth Johnston, 01 April 2011 10:01

Are you fed up of missing short putts when they matter most? These jaw-dropping howlers could be occurring because your followthrough is short and jerky, as TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston explains in this golf video tip. By feeling that the putter head swings freely towards the target, you’ll achieve a much better roll and increase your chances of squaring ...

No more three-putts!

Gareth Johnston, 16 August 2010 11:37

When putting from long range, a lot of amateur golfers will involve their upper body in the stroke in a bid to try and get the required distance. But when this occurs, it’s very difficult to bring the putter back to the ball squarely as there are so many moving parts in the action! This golf video tip from TG ...
