I was playing golf this past weekend with some friends and family at Old Mill, a local Utah golf course, and through the first couple holes I really wasn't putting the ball all that well. I then analyzed my putting and went through my check list for certain things that I was supposed to remember when I putt. Because I had a check list to ensure I was executing my stroke correctly, I was able to find a flaw in my stroke. I wasn't leaning on my front foot. Once I spotted the problem, I then leaned on my front leg, trying to create a 60/40 weight displacement with the majority of the weight on my front leg. I then started putting the ball with better speed and consistency, and I even made a couple birdies too. Be sure to have a check list of your own for your putting so when you notice a little inconsistency you can work it out and get back on track.Here is my check list:1. Stance (shoulder width apart)2. Ball position (forward in stance)3. Posture (Slightly flexed knees, back straight, bend at the hips)4. Weight distribution (60/40 on front foot)5. Keep the putter on plane with my forearms6. Firm wrists 7. Keep my head steady8. Swing with the shouldersMy check list is a bit long, but they are very important parts to my putting stroke. I highly recommend compiling together a check list for your routine so when you are noticing something a little out of the ordinary in your game, you can get it straightened out while you play. I suggest a shorter list with maybe 4 or 5 points to emphasize on, or if you have a good memory, go with more. This is also great for full swing and chipping.I hope you enjoyed this golf lesson. Please comment with more questions about areas of your game that you are looking to improve, and I'll write a post just for you. Thanks for reading.Weston Maughan
