How many golf putting aids do you have? I'll be one even in your office right? Even though putting bores me (and my putts per round show it), it is a critical component of your game if you want to shoot lower scores.

Practicing your putting can get monotonous and boring; and a training aid specific to your putting problem can make all the difference in the world. In fact, by keeping you interested in practicing your putting, these aids can hone your putting leaps and bounds ahead of your playing partners and competitors.

What is your putting deficiency?

There can be many issues/problems in your putting. You can have excess head and body movement. Poor putter path back and through; inconsistent contact with ball and putter face; erratic tempo throughout stroke, and many others. The list can go on and on, but I think you get the idea.

Figuring out what your issue is will give you direction on what putting aid to look in to. These training aids can get very expensive, so you do not want to be hasty and premature in your purchase decision. In fact, sometimes you can make your own golf putting aid if need be.

Try it before you buy it!

Many of these training aids for putting can be demoed right in the store. Why not try it before you buy it? What a novel idea eh? If you give it a go first, you will have a better idea of whether it can help your putting or not.

I've gone into the golf shop looking at these, tried one, and was blown away at how different it was to actually use it first. Never'I mean never buy it without trying to find it locally! You're throwing your money out the window!

Use it consistently!

Once you've purchased your golf putting aid, use it consistently to see improvement. So many golfers buy something on a whim, only to use it once or twice and that's it! Not a smart move if you want to see results.

Like anything'consistency is the key to success!
