3 Disc Golf Putting Tips to Instantly Improve Your Game in 30 Days
Share
If you’re tired of missing those crucial 20-footers or feeling like your putting game holds you back from reaching the next level, you’re not alone. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate player, dialing in your disc golf putting routine is one of the fastest ways to shave strokes off your scorecard.
In this blog post, we’re sharing 3 proven disc golf putting tips that will help you gain confidence and consistency on the green — all in just 30 days.
🔥 Why Putting Is the Most Underrated Skill in Disc Golf
Before we dive in, let’s be clear: disc golf putting is what separates good players from great ones. You can crush 400-foot drives and nail upshots all day, but if you're not cashing putts inside the circle, you're leaving strokes behind — guaranteed.
Let’s fix that.
1. Build a 30-Day Putting Routine (And Stick to It)
Consistency is king. If you're not practicing your putting daily (or at least 4–5 times a week), you’re not giving yourself the reps needed to improve.
🗓️ 30-Day Putting Challenge:
Days 1–10: 100 putts per day at 15–20 feet
Days 11–20: 100 putts per day at 20–25 feet
Days 21–30: 100 putts per day, split between 20–30 feet
Keep track of your made/missed putts.
Tip: Make practice more game-like by simulating pressure — count your makes out loud or keep score against a friend.
2. Master Your Putting Form and Stick With One Style
One of the most common disc golf putting mistakes is constantly switching styles — spin putt one day, push putt the next. Instead, pick a putting style that feels natural and commit to it for 30 days.
💡 Key Disc Golf Putting Fundamentals:
Stance: Find a balanced position (straddle or staggered)
Grip: Keep it firm but relaxed, with your index finger supporting the flight plate
Release: Extend your arm straight at the basket — don’t “short-arm” it
Follow-through: Let your hand point at the chains after the putt
Record yourself from the front and side angles. Look for inconsistencies and adjust only when necessary. Small tweaks go a long way.
3. Visualize the Chains and Practice with Intent
Improving your disc golf putting isn’t just physical — it’s mental. Visualization builds confidence. Before every putt, imagine the disc flying straight into the heart of the chains.
🧠 Mental Putting Drill:
Before each practice putt:
Take a breath
Visualize the flight path
Hear the “clank” of chains
Then execute
This simple habit reduces nerves and builds trust in your stroke.
Bonus: Use putters with the same mold and plastic to reduce variability and train your muscle memory faster.
🏆 Final Thoughts: Small Changes = Big Gains
If you follow these three disc golf putting tips with intention and consistency, your putting will improve dramatically in just 30 days. Whether you're trying to move up a division, win your next local tournament, or just stop three-putting, it all starts on the practice green.
