There are many variations in how golfers, professional or amateur, set up to a putt.

We all come in different shapes and sizes and we all like different types of putters and we can all jump from one to another when the putts aren’t dropping.

But, if you are after some sound fundamentals, then PGA Professional Steve Johnston has some excellent putting tips to get us holing more and avoiding the three putts.  

  1. Keep everything, your ball and hand position, as neutral as possible 
  2. Set up with the putter head first and dissect the middle of your feet with the shaft
  3. Have your sternum over the top of the putter 
  4. Have your hands on the side of the grip and take a small step both ways
  5. The ball should be below your nose and take a stroke straight back and through
