It’s never a bad time to work on our golf swings and putting strokes with an eye toward lowering scores. Anyone who has ever drastically lowered their handicap can attest to the amount of time and commitment it truly takes. Luckily, some smart inventors have created clever golf training aids to help (moderately) speed up the process.
But let’s be honest – very few if any of you reading this will ever be able to rip or put it like a tour pro. But we can all improve our games and gain confidence as long we work and practice the right way. Training aids can help in this pursuit.
We’ve tried and tested dozens and dozens on the market in hopes of accelerating improvement. Here are some of our favorites. Enjoy!
