Elevate Your Putting Game in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains
Nestled at 3,000 feet in the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, Burlingame Country Club offers specialized putting instruction that can transform your short game. Our Tom Jackson-designed championship course provides the perfect setting for refining the most crucial aspect of your golf game. The difference between good and great golf often comes down to those final strokes on the green. Our professional instructors work with you to develop confidence, precision, and consistency in your putting technique, helping you create those “Best of Times” moments when a perfectly executed putt drops into the cup.
Professional Putting Instruction Tailored to Your Game
At Burlingame, putting instruction isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our golf professionals assess your current technique, identify areas for improvement, and create personalized coaching plans. Whether you’re struggling with distance control, alignment issues, or reading the subtle breaks of our mountain greens, our instructors provide clear, actionable guidance that produces measurable improvement.
Our putting instruction encompasses fundamental elements like grip, stance, and stroke mechanics, but goes further to address the mental aspects of successful putting. You’ll learn to develop pre-putt routines that build confidence and consistency, even under tournament pressure. The mountain setting offers unique challenges and opportunities for putting practice, with greens that reward careful reading and thoughtful execution.
Green Reading Techniques for Mountain Golf
The greens at Burlingame present distinctive challenges that require specialized reading skills. Our instructors teach you to recognize subtle elevation changes, grain directions, and how mountain slopes influence ball movement. You’ll learn practical techniques for reading greens from multiple angles, understanding how time of day affects putting surfaces, and adjusting for the unique characteristics of mountain golf.
Through hands-on instruction on our practice green and actual course surfaces, you’ll develop an intuitive feel for how putts break on mountain terrain. This knowledge translates into fewer three-putts and more birdie opportunities, ultimately leading to lower scores and more enjoyable rounds.
Short Game Specialization Beyond Putting
While putting is the cornerstone of a strong short game, our instruction also covers the full spectrum of shots you’ll need around the green. From delicate chips and pitches to challenging bunker play, Burlingame’s instructors help you develop the touch and creativity needed for successful short game execution.
These specialized sessions help you understand club selection, ball position, and hand action for different short game scenarios. You’ll practice specific techniques for uphill lies, downhill lies, and shots from various lies around our mountain course, giving you confidence to handle any situation you encounter during your round.
State-of-the-Art Putting Analysis and Technology
Our instruction combines traditional teaching with modern technology to accelerate your improvement. Video analysis allows you to see your putting stroke from multiple angles, while pressure mats provide data on weight distribution throughout your stroke. Our professionals interpret this information in ways that make sense for your game, suggesting practical adjustments that lead to immediate improvement.
Practice facilities include specialized putting areas where you can work on specific skills like distance control, breaking putts, and high-pressure situations. This comprehensive approach ensures you develop both the technical skills and mental approach needed for putting excellence.
