Drill: Line Em Up

Posted on Wednesday, 2nd April 2008 in Drill, Putter

Difficulty Level: Pro

So are you ready to get out and play yet. April 15th always seemed to be the day that we started playing in Northern Michigan. For most of you in the US you are already playing and battling through those spring conditions.

Here is another great drill that I do all year long to help my game. Again it is a little putting drill that not only gets you to groove your putting stroke, but it also puts pressure on you. It is a very simple drill.

You will need 10 balls.

I start with the first ball about 3 feet from the hole. After that line up each ball in a straight line about 1 and a half to two feet apart. I like to line them up far enough apart so that the next ball does not interfere with the putting stroke.

Line Em Up

Doing this will put you about 20 feet from the hole.

Here is the drill. Putt each ball into the hole one after another. If you miss one, then take all the balls out of the hole and start again.

Have you ever had a 20 foot putt to win a hole? How about a 20 foot putt to win a match? How about a 20 foot putt just to make bogie? How do you know that you can make it?

Use this drill and you will see that a 20 foot putt is not impossible to make. Make sure that you have some time set aside for this drill. Sometimes it can take a little while to finish.

Good luck and Good Putting.
