and repeat the drill. Choose different lies, use different clubs, 60-degree, sand wedge and pitching wedge to determine which works best for you. Do this drill a minimum of 45 minutes per week. If you have time do it more often. You will be amazed at how quickly your putting statistics will improve. Putting: Most putters are 34 inches long. Lay your putter on the ground with the head of your putter in the cup. Lay a golf ball two inches just outside the butt of your putter grip. Move your putter around the hole placing 10 balls in a three-foot circle around the cup. Putt all ten balls When you are satisfied with putts from three feet, move out to four feet, five feet and so on. For the average golfer it is not realistic to make 100% putts from five feet, but you should be able to make 70%, or 80%. It is best to choose a hole on the putting green that has slope, so that you can experience uphill, downhill, left to right and right to left putts while practicing. and keep score of how many you make. Keep doing the drill until you can make all ten putts. What you will find is that after you make the first six or seven you will begin to really grind on the last few because you are trying to make all ten putts. This is the closest to on-course pressure of trying to make a short putt to win a couple bucks off your buddy. American Golf Journal
