The easiest way to lower your golf score is to improve your putting. Most golfers can get on the green in at least one to three shots, but it's the putting that takes the skill of golf to a new level and where an average golfer can become a great golfer. The difference between the two is typically the shortest of shots during a round of golf.

To learn some great putting tips that can improve your score, keep reading.

Use the Right Putter

It may seem elementary, but there are a lot of golfers using putters that are too small, not heavy enough, too heavy or too big. While you don't have to buy the most expensive putter on the market, you should own a quality putter that fits your body type and actually feels good in your hands.

Some golfers carry two putters, a lighter one for fast greens and a heavier one for slower greens. Typically though, you want a putter with good weight on it and a length that lets you properly control your shot.

Grip Your Putter Well

While you want to grip your putter comfortably, you also want to grip it well. Wearing your gloves, keep your thumbs pointed downwards and on the flat surface of the putter grip. You want to grip your putter softly, but consistently. So, once you've settled on a grip, keep it and don't let up until you've followed through with the shot.

Keep Yourself Stable

If you want to get better at putting, you need to focus on keeping your body steady and stable, especially your lower half. Keep your feet and legs grounded and steady and use your upper body to swing the putter while keeping the lower body as still as possible.

Cure Your Yips

A yip is when you miss an easy or short putt. The thing is, it happens to everybody. The best cure is to regain confidence and develop a putting routine. If you've ever watched a pro basketball player before he makes a foul shot, he often goes through a routine of movements before making his shot. Watch professional golfers before a put and you'll see they have a pattern of shaking out their gloves, stretching their arms or tapping the putter handle.

These small sets of movements can not only help relax you for your next putt, but also create a rhythm for your shot and keep the yips at bay.
