Golf Putting Tips: Don’t rest your putter on the ground!

If you setup with your putter on the ground, you have to lift it before starting your stroke.  Lifting the club often causes the stroke to pull to the left during impact with the ball.  Instead, just brush the grass at address so that it is already level and does not need to be lifted.  In this manner your club goes only back and not up giving you a smoother and more controlled stroke.
