Best putting aids to help your game on the green


Putting is the great equalizer in golf.

Often referred to as the game within the game, putting greatly affects your score.

Taking just 10 minutes a day to work on your stroke can help drop your scores.

If you’re one to keep track of stats while you play, and you always should, try to keep putts around 30. The more greens you hit, the higher the number can be, but 34 putts or fewer can usually result in a scorecard you can be proud of.

If you’re having a hard time finding rhythm with your flat stick, give these practice aids a try before heading off to the store to buy a new putter. A lot of these aids below are seen each and every week on Tour by our insiders.

Check back throughout August as Golfweek continues its series on best training aids.
