Putting is around half of your golfing score. It is important to practice your putting in order to play rewarding golf. The only way to become a better putter is to work on the basics of putting, stance, grip, eye-line, body movement. Work on your golf putting drill and you will lower your score.
Basics of Golf Putting drill
Gripping the putter can be done in so many ways, but it is important not to have a dominant hand, as you are looking for a relaxed combination of shoulders, arm and hands for a smooth stroke.
The easiest way to stop your lower body moving during your putting stroke is to make yourself knock-kneed. This will automatically put your weight onto the inside of the sole of your shoes. Now, if you make a stroke you will see that the lower body, legs and knees stay still.

The following golf putting drill video will teach you how to make solid putting strokes.
A good body posture is key to make better putts. So if you want to improve on your putting, work on your body posture.
The best demonstration of a putting posture is by Luke Donald. He emphasis the need to work on eyes, hands and shoulder position.
You have to have your eyes directly above the ball tracing straight lines to the hole. Your hands should be falling just below your shoulders, straight below your shoulders because the arc of a putting stroke is determined where your hands are. If your hands are outside the plane of your shoulders, you’re going to have more of an arced putting stroke. If you get it too far in, it’s going to make the putting stroke go out.
So you want it somewhere in the middle where your hands are hanging right beneath your shoulders.
If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own.
