Step 3
Set up straight putt drills. Start with five golf balls and make sure you're making straight putts to focus on your swing rather than the break. Set a goal of making all five in a row. If you miss, start over at one. As you improve, increase your goal until you reach 50. When you reach your 47th, you'll learn to putt better under pressure, as you will not want to start all over at one.

Step 4
Practice. Nothing will help you learn putting techniques better than consistent practice. You'll see what you're doing incorrectly on a regular basis and thereby learn what to correct.
