Here are some great tips on how to improve your putting. Why not try these tips on your own backyard putting green from Softrak Greens?

1. Use the practice green to guage speed and work on distance control. Distance control (sometimes called speed control) should be the focus when practicing putting.

2. Hit your putts at a ball marker, not at a hole, to start with. Don't immediately try to make putts - simply roll the ball toward a ball marker you've put down about six feet away. Think about the stroke and centering the ball on the putter face.

3. Set down distance markers and alternate putting to different distances. Set ball markers, clubs or some other markers at 10-foot intervals, out to 30 feet. Alternate hitting balls to the different distances.

4. Hit from one side of the green to the other to practice long putts. Making a 70-footer is something we're very unlikely to do, it doesn't make sense to aim at the cup. You'll only be disappointed when the ball doesn't go in.

5. Practice making putts, not missing them. Putt from no more than six feet out, and preferably around four feet out. Even the pros make only about half their 6-footers. If you're practicing 15-footers, you're only hurting your confidence.

6. Putt on a flat part of the practice green. On a practice green, you want to practing making putts. That means putting from a short distance - and on a flat part of the green. Short, flat putts are the ones you have to make to get better.

7. Always end your practice session by making short putts. Don't walk off the green on a miss. Force yourselve to make five or six putts in a row to end the session - even if you have to putt from 6 inches to do it.

Affordable, maintenance free greens for homes and courses. Our greens look, chip, putt, and hold like real grass putting greens.

Unlike most artificial surfaces, a SofTrak® green will actually hold a shot, just like a natural grass green! When chipping onto the green, the ball will actually check up. With backspin, you can even make a ball stop or back up. It’s amazing! Find out more on how these greens are constructed!

A couple of interesting stats to show you how important putting is to your score. Golf was designed to be 50% long shots and 50% putting
Actually 40% of your shots are putts
Tour pros make 60% of 6 foot putts, amateurs make 40%
Tour pros make 98% of 3-4 footers, amateurs make 75%.
If you had a backyard green, how would it improve your scores?

"DiMarco Pointe is my personal golf complex and was designed by Harmony Links Golf and SofTrak to include fast greens with Augusta-style slopes. It features synthetic turf from SofTrak Greens combined with zoysia grass surrounding the greens and is a perfect place for my family and me to practice because SofTrak greens receive shots so well and roll so true. They are as fast as I wanted them to be. Dimarco Pointe is a great example of a custom personal golf complex in The Design Series" - Chris DiMarco - three time winner on the PGA Tour and a member of past Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup teams.
