I generally hate putting ( 36 putts is a great day for me! and no i am not hitting every green in regulation!! ) - hence my score suffers - but just not found anyway to make it interesting to practice.

golfbulldog,

You may find that practicing with a metronome will improve your consistency. First you have to figure out which setting you seem to be best with, particularly lag putting. Then use that setting for ALL putts, 1 footers and 150 footers. Practicing with a metronome a lot has helped my consistency quite a bit. The other thing that really helped was putting a small mirror (like at Home Depot) on the ground and checking out my set-up alignments. I figured out that my forearm line was closed to the target line which caused me to push a lot of short puts. I dropped my right elbow back and have been a much better putter since.

Better putting does not have to take hours and hours of practice, just some attention to detail. Personally, I enjoy practicing putting for hours and hours. There is something about lagging 5 putts in a row over 80 feet within a couple of feet. You have to find the fun things about practicing each area of the game I figure.

Short game practice can sometimes lower your putts per round quicker than putting practice.
