Rhythm is very important for long putts. This is a drill to create a feeling for rhythm, you don’t have to use this when you putt later on, but get a feeling for these drills.
Straight Putt | Start at 15ft | Corridor 3ft
Create 5 Corridors of 3 feet. At 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 feet. Start from 15ft and then play one ball into each corridor with the same rhythmic feeling. Like “one/two” or “ding/dong”.
Play 2×5 Putts with the same rhythm, one putt to each corridor.
Time: 7 min | Number of Balls: 1
This is an exercise to practice your green reading abilities.
Find a breaking putt between 25 and 55 feet. Start with 25 feet first. Walk to the middle of the Putt and get a feeling for the slope with your feet.
Now imagine where the target area is. Then putt straight at the target area and see if you are correct.
Every time you find a putt just try to figure out with your body how much the break is. And then imagine your target area.
Do this green reading style with your body feel for 7x Putts. 25ft | 30ft | 35ft | 40ft | 45ft | 50ft | 55ft
Only focus on the target area.
