Putting Tip: Recognize That Every Putt Is Just A Straight Line
The green will break in many different directions on each hole, and on any golf course you may play. Therefore one of the secret tips to successful putting is to understand that regardless of the break, right to left or left to right, your stroke must always be made on a straight line.
Pick your target, one that will allow for the break, and simply roll the golf ball in a straight line directly to that spot. The green will do the rest of the work for you and carry the ball toward the hole.
Most golfers attempt to steer the ball and vary their strokes, but breaking greens are actually your friend, so long as you treat each putt in the manner described above.
The same goes when attempting a chip shot toward the hole. Do not vary your swing. Just choose a spot that will allow for the break and make your chip shot directly down the target line, straight to your chosen spot.
