Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...

Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

? To encourage the pupil to develop a feel for basic distance control when putting.

Pupils practice rolling the ball towards a target as if playing bowls to develop a feel for the length of swing to achieve the distance required. (1) A development could see the players putting with one hand only (the hand furthest from the target) to develop a similar feel. (2)

Eye Drops:

To encourage the pupil to get into a correct posture for putting and encourage good eye alignment.

Encourage the pupil to set up ready to hit the ball then take a ball and place in between the eyes (1). Drop the ball; it should land near to the players golf ball showing the eyes are directly over the line of the ball (2).

Gate:

To encourage the pupil to develop central club face contact

Place 1 or 2 tees either side of the object tee or ball to create a 'gate' for the club to swing through at impact (1). Start with a fairly wide gate, gradually narrowing as the pupil improves their skill. A similar drill is achieved with just one tee on the outside of the ball (2).

Arms and Shoulders:

To encourage the player to get a feel for the correct putting stroke

Players begin by clapping their hands together (1) and swing using the arms and shoulders (2). Lower body should remain steady. This gives a feel of using the correct motion rather than the wrists and lower body.

Hit the T:

This will allow the players to focus on a smaller target than a golf hole. This should increase their alingment.

Players should be encouraged to aim at a smaller target during practice, so in real play their confidence is increased.
