Claire Women's Golf Information Putting Probably one of the simplest things to work on to improve your scoring ability is putting. I guarantee if you spend quality time working on your putting it will result in lower scores. Lag putting or distance putting is extremely important.
Most players have trouble rolling a ball a certain distance.
On a 40 foot putt it s not the direction that players mess up on, it s the proper distance. Players leave a 40 foot putt 6 feet short or 8 feet long, but they don t usually leave it 6 feet left or right. It s just like playing catch with someone with a baseball. You instinctively know there is a difference in how hard to throw the ball when you are 10 feet from your partner or 70 feet. All you are trying to do with distance putting is to roll the ball within a 6 foot circle around the hole.
