An average of 43 percent of the strokes you make in a game of golf will be putts. The next highest is your woods, at 25 percent, followed by 13 percent chipping, 10 percent irons, and 5 percent hazard shots.
Putting is incredibly important. Most people want to hit the ball farther and straighter. That’s important, but effective putting makes the difference between an average golfer and a good golfer.
Don’t forget the mental side; tell yourself you are a great putter, and you’re going to sink every putt you look at. Then practice to gain confidence in that belief.
Don’t be afraid to change something to give you inspiration, a change of grip, an open stance or even a change of putter can work wonders. Jack Nicklaus once said after being beaten by his wife that putting was 10% technique and 90% inspiration.
Good golfers enjoy working on their putting but make it interesting and don’t practice for too long. Once you lose your concentration all the good work will be undone. Set yourself a target when you are about to finish your practice session, find a straight put and try and hole 10 in a row from 6 feet before you can go home. It’s good to leave your practice sessions on a positive note.
Enjoy working on your putting, it can make a difference to 43 percent of your game!
- This is the 2nd time i engaged GolfAsia for the HCM package. What impressed me much was they archived my last record and was able to recommend me 'new' courses to play this time. As was the last trip, they were organised and reliable. The arrangements (including a golf game that required speedboat transfer) were seamless and hassle-free.
Well done, GolfAsia. Looking forward to another trip by you.
Khai Leong - not yet try. Just see the first time the page and really interested since my retirement will be soon coming.
Ta Ek - Just completed our trip to Hua Hin - three courses over 4 days with 16 people flying in from multiple locations. Once again the Golf Asian team delivered a wonderful trip - great service. And terrific value for money. Time to start planning next year's trip soon !!
Neil Stewart - We have now done 5 trips with Golf Asian and they are a great company for golf tours. Very reliable with helpful and considerate staff.

Juergen Stotz - Knowing well on golfer’s needs and wants. Helpful 24/7 hot line.
Htun Nay Win - We have just arrived back home after playing at Hua Hin in the Centara Masters followed by another week in Bangkok playing several courses. A big Thank You to the Golfasian team for the great organization and the service prided to us to make our stay one to remember and talk about for a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed the courses played in Bangkok, particularly Royal Gems. Everything about the Trip was Outstanding including our Hotel (Centara Grand in Bangkok). A big thank you to Brian for the course selections and putting everything together for us. We look forward to having Golfasian organize more trips for us, Cheers.
Trevor Evans - Very helpful in arranging everything! Made sure trip to Malaysia was smooth and effortless.
Phuminat Samard - Our recent trip to the Pattaya area for 6 rounds of golf was excellent, and went very smoothly. Golfasian's itinerary was well executed, and everything worked like clockwork. Their drivers were exceptional in their service, and would register us at the golf club while we went straight to the locker room or driving range.
All this at very reasonable price levels makes Golfasian the number one choice for our group, and this is confirmed by us planning our golf holiday through Golfasian for the 8th year in a row.
Thank you Ian Morgan, and see you guys next year.
Jehanzeb Khan - Exceptional service for our golfing holiday in Bintan, everything including transfers from our hotel in Singapore to hotel in Bintan including ferry service first class, 6 round of golf to different course including transfers on time, no issues with any of the courses we played.
