Wow! People might start confusing GH for a real golf forum.  Most certainly if Clive shills about his putter.  |

1. Draw a line on the ball and line up your putt with it.
2. Concentrate on your putting mechanics, not the ball going in the cup.
3. If there is a golf store nearby, practice putting with a Heavy putter. It forces you to use your shoulders.
4. I had a 2-ball putter but I had trouble lining up the putt. I found a mallet style putter with a line on the top that made it easier. YMMV.

The good thing about getting old, is that you can hit the ball out of sight.

Newb here and not a great golfer but I try not to get to wrapped up in all the technical advice. I keep 3 things in mind, I try to put to within 3 feet of the hole, bring my putter slow and start forward slow gradually increasing speed until I strike the ball and last I try to imagine I am tossing ball'd up paper into a garbage can underhand from across the room. I have lots of problems on the course, putting is the least of my worries.  |

Let the clubhead follow the ball down the line of the putt. It's simple and can really help.
