![]() At present, I’m finding myself eight-over, which means I’d be likely to three-putt at least a few times during a round. My aim for this exercise is to be level par or better. I make sure I’m not using the same two holes day after day, as I would get used to the break and distance of just that specific line. The purpose of this exercise is to improve distance control on the first putt, while implementing the skills from the first two drills in a pressure situation if my first putt isn’t stone-dead. Par is a two-putt, and my goal is to be level par or better. Using one ball only, I have 18 attempts, nine from each direction. I choose two holes on the putting green that are a long way apart. I’d like to be holing at least half of these putts. At my current 36% success rate, I’d be last by a mile. The best players on tour average around 85% from six feet, while tour average is about 70%. I”m currently scoring 13/36 at this drill. I’ve merely devised a few drills that I think will help me in key areas, based on things from Rotella’s book ‘ The Golf of Your Dreams‘ and a variety of instructional articles and videos I’ve taken in over the years. If I was, this whole journey to scratch would be a short and completely nonsensical one. If you like the look of it, why not give it a try for yourself? Or if you think it could be improved, please feel free to let me know on Twitter – I’m bear in mind that I’m certainly not an expert. ![]() Over the next couple of blog posts, I’ll give you the full detail of all of the practice I’m doing at the moment. ![]() It also means that the course and practice areas aren’t overly busy, which means I can get more done with fewer distractions (I mean retirees wandering across the putting green, not hordes of fans hassling me for autographs).īut, as well as quantity, I need quality. I’ve found that getting up early and being at the course by 7am enables me to practise for that amount of time without feeling like the entire day is gone. ![]() So I’ve started practising for four hours a day. ![]()
