ONE of the most common mistakes golfers make on short putts is that they lift their head up in the middle of the stroke to see if the ball goes in the hole. Most of the time this is the exact reason why the ball doesn’t go in!
Lifting up the head will lift the body as well and ultimately change the arc of the putting stroke leading to pushing or pulling the ball. Luckily there’s an easy way to fix this problem. When you have a putt that’s 6ft or less from the hole, look at the back of the ball when you stroke the ball, keep looking down at the same spot for three seconds and wait until you hear the ball drop in the hole.
This will ensure that you allow the body to stay in position and put your best possible stroke to the putt.
