Putting Lessons in Singapore: How to Hole More Putts | GOLFTEC Singapore

On a typical round, putting accounts for a huge share of your strokes, often more than a third. Yet most golfers spend almost all their practice time and lesson budget on the full swing. If you want to lower your scores quickly, putting is one of the best places to start.

Why Most Golfers Struggle on the Greens

• Poor speed control - leaving long putts well short or racing them past
• An open or closed putter face at impact, starting the ball off line
• Inconsistent contact - striking the ball off the heel or toe
• Poor green reading - under-reading break is extremely common
• A putter that does not suit the stroke

What Putting Lessons Cover

A good putting lesson measures what is actually happening rather than relying on feel. Typically, that means looking at:

• Setup and alignment - where your eyes, shoulders and putter face are aimed
• Face angle at impact - the biggest factor in starting the ball on line
• Stroke path and tempo
• Distance control on putts of different lengths
• Green reading and routine

Practise Putting Properly

Singapore's heat and afternoon storms make practice greens uncomfortable at the best of times. Our indoor putting practice area lets you work on your stroke in air-conditioned comfort, with feedback that shows whether you are actually improving.

A simple routine to try:

• Ten putts from one metre, focusing on starting the ball on line
• Ten putts from six metres, focusing on finishing within half a metre past the hole
• A pressure game: see how many one-metre putts you can hole in a row

Check Your Putter Too

Putter length, lie and head shape all affect your stroke. A putter that is too long or too upright can force you into positions that make a consistent stroke almost impossible. A putter club fitting can make a surprising difference.
