Part 1 | Long Game Training
Time: 2o Minutes
Part 2 | Long Putts
Time: 2o Minutes
Time: 6 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.
Time: 7 min | Number of Balls: 1
Let’s practice on your speed including a green read
Find putts that break. Putt back and forth between two balls which are 20ft away from each other. If both puts are in the 3ft radius. Then you will increase the gap by 10ft. Similar to the Speed Drills but with a breaking putt.
Breaking Putt | Start at 20ft | Target= 3ft Radius
Play 10x Putts, see if you can go from 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 feet gap.
Time: 7 min | Number of Balls: 1
This final drill brings it all together, it is about using both factors in your individual style.
Just hit it, you learned these skills with the previous drills already.
10x Putts to different Targets. Walk around a practice green and only hit long putts. Distance of 15-60 feet, only practice the first putt.
Count how many putts you can get into the 3ft radius around the hole.
