5 simple putting tips that helped me improve my putting game! 🏌️‍♀️⛳️

Make sure to save this in case you don’t see this post again! (Create a folder for all your favourite tips and drills) ✨

⛳️ focus on your start line rather than the hole - most missed putts happen in the first few inches when you push or pull the ball (I use this ruler from and this gives me instant feedback on whether I’m hitting it straight or not)

🏌️‍♀️ keep your head still! - it’s so important not to lift your head straight after hitting it, stay in position and extra couple of seconds and TRUST that you’ve hit the shot you wanted. This removes any unnecessary movements in your shoulders/body that can impact how you hit the ball

⛳️ rock your shoulders, not your wrists! - I am TERRIBLE at this because I’m definitely too wristy when it comes to my putting stroke and I’m super conscious of it! When putting, it’s all in the shoulders! This keeps your tempo consistent and less room for pushing/pulling the ball

🏌️‍♀️ short putts > long putts - I don’t know about you but I’m way more nervous about shorter putts than long putts! If you practice shorter putts (10 feet and lower) I PROMISE your scores will drop!

⛳️ improve your focus and pre-shot routine - another thing I’m not consistent with, especially when playing under pressure with a group behind me or playing with faster people - I am so inconsistent with going through my pre-shot routine! This includes: cleaning my ball, lining up the putt with where I think it’ll go, assessing the slope and distance properly and generally remaining calm and in control! I do all of these things when I’m playing solo or when there’s no pressure and I KNOW it works better so this is our reminder to just do it! It’ll save you time and shots in the long run!

UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE ⚠️🤯 PART 2!!

MAKE SURE TO SAVE THIS FOR FUTURE!

1. Be ready to hit - whether your 2nd/3rd/4th on the tee make sure you’re ready to step up as soon as the person before you hits, don’t wait until they’ve gone to decide what club your taking and trying to find the right tee etc.. this helps keeping the pace of play going 👌

2. Yelling fore - if you know you’ve sliced or hooked the ball, please shout FORE RIGHT or FORE LEFT as soon as possible.. no need for embarrassment, we’ve all been there 🙈

3. Slow pace of play - it’s expected that you’ll be on the tee while the group in front is on the next green usually so try and keep your pace of play to this standard.

4. Repairing ball marks - your ball usually makes a dent on the green and its expected that you will repair this by using a divot tool ( if you don’t have one a tee will do) pop the tee all around the edges of the dent pushing/lifting inward toward the centre of the dent, once you’ve gone all around, the surface will be raised, you can then use your putter to pat it down and it should be even again

5. Talking during someone’s shot - general rule is stop talking/making any noise once the person walks to their ball to take their shot - this is dependent on your group, some people don’t mind but best to follow this rule when playing with a new person

6. Putting with a glove on - personally this one doesn’t bother me, but it’s considered an ick in the golf world 😂 also it’s generally better to putt without a glove so you get a better feel for the shot and better control

Hope this helps! What other rules that are not actually rules do you follow? 🤔

UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE!! ⚠️🤯

Let’s be honest, there are FAR too many rules in golf to remember, and to top it off, we then have the unspoken rules of the game to make it even harder! But don’t worry because Little Birdy has seen em all and is here to tell you! 🐦

1. Replace your divots - these are the chunks of grass you’ve taken out of the ground after hitting your shot.. go get it and put it back! Some courses have ‘sand bags/sand bottles’ for you to fill the divot so the grass grows back! 💚

2. Don’t walk on or through someone’s putting line - this is the space between someone else’s ball and the hole. You’ll need to walk around them or wait until they’ve taken their putt

3. Rake the bunker after you use it - any marks you’ve made, including every footstep, need to be raked!

4. Your shadow - be mindful of your shadow when someone else is taking their shot, if it’s over their ball, their line, the hole, be a legend and move out of their eye line 😉

5. Bags, buggies and trollies NEVER go on the green - just you and your putter kids!

6. When NOT to take practice swings - I see this a lot and it baffles me.. please DO NOT take your practice swing while someone else is preparing to take their shot and generally just try and avoid making noise of any kind when they’re on the tee.

Everyone has their own preferences and some of the above won’t bother people so this is just a guide if you ever play with someone you don’t know

SAVE THIS SO YOU DON’T FORGET! ⚠️
