Why should I care about putting games?

Well ,W. T. Gallwey has done it in his book Inner Game Golf , which can be very much recommended to get a feeling for your Game of Golf , specially your putting.

You were taught to read and to write, why not start to think about putting.

The Inner Game of Golf, or the fight within myself

Do you know your twin brother?

Both of them are keen golfers. Who of the two is the Stableford fan,

and who says “that’s not my game of golf”?

Just think of yourself as a twin.

One is a rather tough guy, the other a nice and a more quiet type.

Those two fight a constant battle right up in your mind to control your actions.

The tough guy seems to be winning as you will more or less listen to his constant technical advice, or his objections on the putt you are going to play.

He will utter doubts, nourish your fears on mishap and you are the one to pay for it.

You will never improve your score.

On the other side of you there is this nice and gentle fellow inside you , your second Ego.

It´s hard for him to get through, but give him a chance.

He will not give technical advice, but tries to focus your mind on feeling. He will draw your attention to your mental strength, cares about your sight of things, will tell you to be confident. He helps you to concentrate on this putt, guiding your observant eyes to the right line. Listen to him!

So put your ball just like you would like to put all the time.

The bad guy ist constantly misleading you, one could say he is constantly breaching the holy rules of golf etiquette, but nobody but you knows this.

So Gallwey calls to listen to your second Ego.

Putting is most difficult, but the only way to become a better golfer

So engage yourself in practicing these helpful putting games,

and enjoy your golfing.

Try these putting games for a change in golfing.

Train to concentrate on your strength in competitions,

But remember, it is nothing but a game
