Master The Short Putts

By Golf Pro Nick Arthur

To master the art of short putting, a golfer needs two things. The first is the confidence to make the putt and the second is an accelerating putter head down the target line. To improve your short putting, try this drill. All you need is a shaft and three tees.

Place the shaft along the target line (or the toe of your putter.) Then make a gate from two tees. The first tee will be just outside the toe of your putter. The second tee will be just on the inside of the heel of your putter. Then place the third tee directly behind the golf ball, and no further back than your right foot.

nick-arthur-1The two tees that you have used to create the gate will insure that you are impacting the putter in the center of the face. The third tee which is behind will insure that the putter itself will not travel too far on the backswing. This will create acceleration on the forward stroke. Set up this drill three feet from the hole with a straight putt. Now go out and practice this drill and watch your short putting dramatically improve.

nick-arthur-2Unusual for a Florida course, The Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club has been strategically sculpted by moving nearly 1.9 million cubic yards of earth. This massive undertaking has created elevation, relief, contouring and framing for each hole. The layout gracefully rolls among 12 picturesque lakes and extensive landscaping, forming a fair and memorable test of golf. There are six sets tees ranging from 5,175 to 7,417 yards, all designed to provide maximum playability without sacrificing strategy or beauty. Pines, palms, maples, ficus, mature oaks, colorful flowering shrubs, marshes with aquatic plants, beautiful native areas and white sand bunkers all provide significant visual appeal. Our distinguished Caddie Concierge Program and extensive practice range facility ensure a most unique on-course experience.
