This is a big mistake, what you need to remember is that a missed three foot putt will cost you the same amount of strokes as a 300 yard drive.

So how do you get good at putting? You get good a putting by learning the fundamentals and by practicing. Here is an often overlooked putting tip for all levels of golfers.

Use Putting Aids

Using aids for beginners and experienced alike is a fast way to get your putter working for you. There are several putting aids that you might want to consider adding into your practice time.

For example there are putting machines that you putt the ball into and it returns it back to you. This is very helpful for learning how to keep the putter head square at impact and it also helps you to learn how to get the ball rolling smoothly off the putter’s face.

There are also putting aligners that you can implement into your putting practice. This type of equipment will help you to align the ball and help you learn a good putting stroke both back and through the ball.

Another type of putting aid is one that teaches you the correct arc of the putting stroke, many beginning golfers have the misconception that the putter goes straight back and straight through this aid will teach you to actually release your putter head.

Using these putting tips and aids for beginners will help you to quickly improve your score as you will begin to understand all the things that you need to know to be a good consistent putter.
