Before you putt the golf ball it is very important to have your putter aligned properly to the hole. The putter swing should also stay along the line of the putt. Here is a simple golf putting tip that will allow you to learn this.

The easiest and cheapest way is to use two other golf clubs and a square. Place the two clubs on the ground with the shafts parallel to each other and use the length of your putter head for the distance between the clubs. Now practice your putting swing between these two clubs. By doing this you will learn to have a proper putting swing towards your target.

This should also bring the putter face close to proper alignment by being perpendicular to your target. But to make sure use your square by laying it on the ground and aligning it to one of the club shafts that your are using for guidance in your putting swing. Make sure the perpendicular edge, that is the edge that is ninety degrees to your club shafts, lies between your two club shafts. Now when you practice your putting first align your putter so that it is lined up with the edge of your square and then practice your putting stroke between the two clubs.

By practicing using this method you will train yourself to have proper putter alignment and a proper putter swing towards the target.
