How Do I Improve My Putting?

My putting is awful. Is there some technique or exercise I can use to stop me three putting and bring down my golf score?

    There are a number of simple things that will help:

    Check your grip - make sure you hold the putter not crossing the back fingers but instead placing the index finger over the bottom hand.

    Ball alignment - align the ball with the front foot in the stance to  allow the ball to be rolled by the putter instead of hit.

    Head position - make sure your eyes are right above the ball so you can look from ball to target line

    Finish position - keep your shoulders closed, in a pivot movement with your hips

    Speed over accuracy - remember the speed of the ball is more important than the line, a good length puts you closer to the hole that an accurate shot that flies over the hole and ends up way past.

    Not very well, they are just the points the pro told me! But they saved me a few shots anyway. Any pros care to comment?
