They say the more you practice, the luckier you get. So, if you’re struggling with long putts here’s an old, but highly effective and fun, drill.
Using tees, mark out an imaginary ladder, with the rungs about 6 feet wide and 3 feet apart. Set the first rung at 12 feet and the last rung at 27 feet.
Now take 3 golf balls and try and putt them with the ball finishing between the 12 and 15 foot rungs. If you don’t get all 3, try again. As soon as you have all 3 finish between those two rungs, progress to the 15 to 18 foot rungs.
Fail to get all 3 in, and you go back to the start. Get them all in and you progress to the next rung. You get the idea.
This is a fun competition with a friend and really works your control of pace.
Pace is one part of the equation with your putts. Reading the line is another. If you feel that you struggle with either, give us a call.
