Three Drills To Improve Golf Swing

Once you have got the ball as near to the hole as possible, all that is left is to putt it so that you can move on. Seemingly easy, it gives some golfers a hard time. Here are four drills to improve golf swing while putting.
The one handed drill is the first one. Practice putting 10 balls using your training hand only. It helps focus you to focus on your hand as it moves to the cup.
Next, the same putt, but use your target hand instead. Concentrate on your backhand as it travels towards the cup.
When practicing the above drills, concentrate on the follow through, conscious and focused on the toe of your putter. Keep the face of the putter square to the cup. If it either turns away or points towards it, then it means that your hand is turning.
Practice putting with an eye closed. It prevents you from lifting your head too early. Some golfers do it. If you are a frequent player you can try putting with both your eyes closed.
You may think that closing your eyes will make it difficult to observe where the ball is headed; but, research has established an interference between the brain and the muscle control system when your eyes are open while putting. Keeping your eyes closed forces you to rely on your hands to putt the ball. And by using your sense of hearing you should be able to judge whether the ball has gone in.
Practice this from a distance of 50 to 100 feet from the hole. With your eyes open at first and then with your eyes closed. You will know that you can sink the ball with your eyes closed, if the ball goes in.
Another technique is to close your eyes, drop some balls on the ground and try to putt them. You just try to get the feel of the back and forth stroke. Repeat the same with open eyes. Did you notice the difference? If you did, try to fit in the experience when you are actually putting on the course.
The last but not the least drill to improve golf swing is known as the alignment drill. Put down two golf clubs on the ground parallel to one another. Now putt the ball. See if your stroke is aligned at impact. Also if it is steady on the forward and the backward stroke. Repeat several times, take a break if tired and resume the drill.
Who knows? But this practice is bound to improve golf swing and improve your game skills also. If you can reasonably putt from short distances, it is time you concentrated on your long game, as it is also equally important. You might even win when playing eighteen holes with friends. Best of Luck!
