Importance of Putting Coaching

Putting makes up nearly 40-50% of a golfer’s total strokes, meaning improvement on the greens can have a significant impact on scoring.

While many golfers focus on driving distance and iron play, putting coaching is often the fastest way to lower scores.

Key Benefits of Putting Coaching:

1. Improved Stroke Mechanics

Helping refine your stroke for better consistency, whether you have a straight-back-straight-through or arc-style stroke.

Proper technique reduces mishits and improves distance control.

​2. Better Green Reading Skills

Understanding slopes, grain, and break patterns can lead to more accurate reads and fewer missed putts.

Learn structured green-reading techniques like AimPoint or traditional visualisation methods.

3. Enhanced Distance & Speed Control

Lag putting skills help reduce three-putts, learning how to adjust pace based on green speed prevents leaving putts short or racing them past the hole.

4. Putter Setup & Alignment Improvements

Many golfers unknowingly misalign their putter at address. A coach ensures proper setup, helping with eye position, putter face alignment and posture.

5. Mental Game & Confidence

Putting is as much mental as it is physical. Coaching helps with pre-shot routines, focus, and confidence-building techniques.Building trust in your stroke leads to better results under pressure!

6. Understanding Stroke Variability & Customisation

Instruction tailored to your natural tendencies rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method, including adjusting tempo, grip pressure, and stroke length to match your comfort level.

7. Use of Technology for Analysis

• Use advanced tools for analysis like:

• Stroke mechanics & face angle analysis

• How the ball rolls off the face

• Visual feedback on alignment and stroke path

• These tools provide real-time feedback to accelerate improvement
