Putting is a very personal skill in golf. If we lined up 50 amateurs, I bet 45 of them would have a different putting style. This variation is fine as long as the player can repeat the stroke again and again. Over the years, I have offered putting tips that would reduce error s and build consistency. My tips are not just mine alone because golf experts, like Rick Shiels, espouse the same topics. Fortunately, I found a short video that address seven putting errors that most amateur golfs make on a routine basis. This is a great topic for sharing as I watch the Travelers Championship.

In the video, Shiels offers seven putting mistakes that add strokes to our scorecard. They are simple and if offered individually, many do not take heed. However, by lump them all together we see how eliminating these mistakes will lower our golf score.

What I like about the video is the simple knowledge offered by Shiels. Improving in golf is not always swing based. Understand the mechanics is important, however being able to address fixable, mental putting errors is equally important. I am confident that even eliminating a few of these putting errors will lower our scores. Imagine how great our putting game will be if we banish all seven.

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
