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)

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).
