Session 8
Skill Development: Ability to read greens
Part 1 | Long Game Training
Time: 2o Minutes
Part 2 | Short & Mid Putts
Time: 2o Minutes
Time: 5 min | Number of Balls: 4
Let’s practice on your accuracy with your individual short putt style. You can use your grip and stance from the previous drills. Now we want to hit Tees to make it more challenging to practice accuracy with your clubface.
From 2 and 3 feet away try to hit the tees so that the ball falls down.
It is important that the ball rolls at the ideal speed, 1 foot passed the hole if it misses the tees. Ball should not touch the clubs behind the tees.
Hit 10x Putts to the tee to improve your accuracy.
Time: 7 min | Number of Balls: 1
This is an exercise to practice your green reading abilities.
Find any breaking putt between 2 and 15 ft. Start with 5 feet first.
Putt straight at the hole. Putt your ball with an ideal speed of 1 ft passed the hole. The ball will break and not go in.
Mark the spot where the ball stops at 1 foot passed the hole. This gives you the break of the putt.
You can find your target point on the other side at the same distance.
Walk around the green and find target points for your putts.
Do this green reading test for 7 Putts.
2ft | 4ft | 6ft | 8 ft | 10ft | 12 ft | 14 ft
Time: 8 min | Number of Balls: 1
This is an exercise to practice your green reading abilities.
Find a breaking putt between 0 and 15 feet. Start with 10 feet first. Walk to the middle of the Putt and get a feeling for the slope with your feet.
Now place a Tee where you think the Target Point is. Then putt straight at the hole and see if your opposite point matches this Target Point.
Every time you find a putt just try to figure out with your body how much the break is.
