Re: Hello all - Putting Help

Nice drills Greg, a variation on the same theme that I like:

The Putting Square


¨ Find a hole that has an uphill, downhill, left to right and right to left putt.
¨ Place a tee 3` from the hole for each of the above putts.

You need to make 3-putts in a row from each tee. Every time you miss, add 1-point to your score, but you must make 3 in a row to move to the next tee.

Once you get around the Putting Square, move each tee 1` back and continue around at 4` and 5`.

For those who enjoy Pelz-type statistics the scores below are the actual scores from golfers in their respective categories.

US PGA Tour Pro: 0 to 3 misses
US Nationwide Tour Pro: 4 to 6 misses
US College Player 8 to 15 misses
10 Handicap 18 to 25 misses

That 3rd putt in a row is a killer even from only 3 foot. I'm generally around 25 - but I am a 22 capper - however one glorious day last year when I'd been taking putting practice seriously for a while I did it in 10 which is a reminder of just how the flat stick can help or hinder your game.
