Putting is hard.

I dont really know if theres a technique to Putting....but I constantly throw towards the ground on my release its very frustrating to never even have a chance at the chains....I also have hizer while putting because i simply dont trust myself I always think it will go way past making my next shot even tougher and mentally frustrating.

My advice is get a basket and 6 or 8 of the same putter you use during play. get out there in the yard, and annoy all your neighbors with that chain noise from dawn to dusk. if the only putting you do is during regular rounds, you'll never get it right. it just takes a ton of putting-only practice.

Definately just practice and do the same thing every time, even if it is a 10ft putt you know you can hit. This will help especially in tournaments when you nerves might be getting to you.

Confidence builders. Start from 5 feet, sink about 30 of those, then move out to 10 and repeat up to about 20 feet or so until you can hit those all day long. Then gradually increase after that. Patience is required.

Loft putt. Let it come in from height and it gets a chance to go in but if it misses, its on its way down.
