Jules, sorry I'm really late to this thread.

Here's my advice, FWIW.  First, get a range ball.  Second, go to a part of the green where there are no holes.  Third, put the range ball down so the red line is pointing toward an imaginary target.  Fourth, roll the range ball and watch the red line. 

If it looks blurry or wobbly, go through all the steps again, and try to make the red line look perfectly focused and rolling in a perfectly straight line.  Once you can make it do that, do it over and over again. 

The key to good putting is to put a good roll on the ball.  The exercise outlined above will let you know whether you are able to do that.  Once you can consistently put a good roll on the ball, go back to putting at targets and see what happens. 

Good luck.

Jules:

Your friend Walfredo can attest to the fact that I'm horrible until I'm about 40 feet off the the green, but my chipping & putting are OK.  I feel the below advice is quite good, putting both pieces together.  Putting is usually the least of my worries on the course also.  The main thing is tension is bad.  I laugh at myself, but sometimes I think of Stars Wars & Obi Won telling me that the force is with me when I'm putting, then I relax & make a good putt.

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

My putting has improved, I feel more confident with my putter now.

I still have days though, when I feel like I am three putting all day. Disgusted Disgusted
