PuttingFeel like you’ve done everything you can to lower your handicapbut it’s just not happening? Two-time Ladies European Tourtournament champion Carly Booth from Scotland talks us throughher approach to the key aspects of the game.It’s making sure that putter face is flat on the ground and for me that’sfeeling my hands a little bit lower at address.34Once I’ve done that it’s focusing on a spot on the ball and hitting that spotand then looking.I am trying to get the same tempo on the green, no matter what length ofputt. I have the same tempo throughout.1 2The set-up for me, first of all, I use the line on the ball to help my putter faceline up with the line on the ball.685I’m working on keeping my head still by finding a spot on the ball and reallyfocusing on that. It doesn’t matter what part of the ball, probably better tobe top or back. I try to keep the putting stroke the same on the way backand the way through. I keep it the same tempo throughout the putt, a nicetempo back and the same tempo through towards the hole.6I probably move the putter head ever so slightly in to in, but in to in orstraight, as long as you see the line on the ball rolling straight towards thehole you know you’ve hit a correct putt.69
