Putting Practice

As you will hear in the video, there is information out there about which hand is most important in putting. It is my goal to help you identify which hand is best for you! There is not a right answer, it is the hand that feels the best and allows you to control the club face and speed. 

  1. Warm up your putting
  2. Start with right hand
    1. Hit 5 balls from 5 feet (straight putt)
    2. Hit 5 balls from 15 feet 
    3. Hit 5 balls from 30 feet
  3. Repeat process with left hand

Which one did you feel like you had the best control with? This is the hand you should feel most when putting with two hands on the putter!

Make 10 in a row from each of the following 3 foot areas:

  1. Straight
  2. Left to right
  3. Right to left

Finish your putting practice with 9 holes for score, putting everything out:

  1. 1 ball
  2. Choose starting putts of 30-60 feet
  3. Go through routine on each putt
  4. Putt everything in
  5. What was your score?
