View the Course

View the course and play a few rounds before attending the tournament. This way, you have an idea of the lay of the land, the obstacles you’ll be playing against, and the strategy for beating your opponents. Keep an eye out for any hills, dips, and curves that might challenge you the day of the tournament. Think about the right technique that will help you overcome this adverse topography. Think about the obstacles that stand between you and the hole. Walk from the tee to the cup and draw an imaginary line as you go. Think about how many strokes it will take you to get your ball into the cup. If it is a particularly challenging course, choose a target that you can aim for to minimize your number of strokes. Create a game plan so that your swings will be precise and thought-out. Shoot for accuracy, but keep in mind that a hole-in-one might not always be possible.

Pick the Putter that is right for you

Do you remember when Harry Potter finds his wand in The Sorcerer’s Stone? Finding the right mini-golf putter isn’t unlike this scene. While the lights won’t flicker and they’ll be no old man watching over you, when you choose the right putter you’ll know. You’ll feel it. Whether it’s one that you brought from home (yes, because you’re that dedicated) or one that you’re borrowing from us, make sure it's something that you know will help you win.

Once you’ve chosen out the putter that will lead you into victory, make sure it’s at belt-level.

How to Grip a Putter

Technique is singular to each player. The hand placement technique that is commonly known and widely used by mini-golfers and professionals alike is a grip that consists of your left hand on the top of the putter with your thumb pointing down the right side of the putter. The rest of your fingers on your left hand should be wrapped around the putter in a firm grip. The next part is tricky, so pay attention. Once your left hand is firmly gripping the putter, curl the pinky on your right hand between your index finger and second finger on the left hand that is gripping the putter. The other three fingers should be resting above your left index finger gripping the putter. The base of your right thumb should be resting on your left thumb while the actual right thumb should be pointed down on the putter, helping to grip it. Once you’ve gripped the putter, give it a couple of practice swings to get a feel for it. Once you’ve got a good idea of what it’s supposed to feel like, muscle memory should help you the rest of the way.

How to Stand

To putt to perfection, your stance is just as important as your grip. Once you have secured the putter and are using the correct grip, stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, facing forward. You should be facing the golf ball and should be parallel to the hole. Your knees should be bent slightly to allow for some momentum when you swing. Since putters are smaller than regular golf clubs, you should be slightly bent over the putter, facing downward, looking at the ball. Once you have the correct form down, keep your arms straight to allow for total control of the putter.

The Swing

You don’t have to have the swing of a PGA golfer, especially since mini-golf courses are significantly smaller. When you swing to hit the ball, remember that you probably don’t have to hit as hard as you think you do. Since you’re not allowed to skip any holes, you don’t want to hit the ball with a force that will make it fly over any holes or off the course. This could decrease your chances of winning and most likely increase your par. Determine the strength of your swing by estimating how far away you are from the cup. Take obstacles into consideration as well, as these affect where your ball will go and how many strokes you will need to make.
