Clap and hold

To encourage the pupil to get into a correct grip routine and
technique for putting.
Pupils begin by holding their hands either side of the shaft and then clap the shaft
with the palms facing one another. Slide the hand furthest from the target down,
close the fingers with the thumbs pointing down the centre of the shaft, but
ensure that the hands are still close together.

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.

SET-UP:
Mark out several 'clockfaces' using cones, paper or other suitable markers. Place a target (cone, bean bag, golf hole etc) at the centre of each 'clockface'. Split the group into teams and send each team to a 'clockface'. Teams stand at 'one o'clock' in a line. Give each team one club and give each player one ball.

ACTIVITY:
The first player putts the ball towards the target. If they hit the target they move onto 2 o'clock but if they miss they stay at 1 o'clock and join the back of the line
The second player putts, then the third, and so on. Players cannot move round until they have hit the target. The first player who makes it round to 12 o'clock wins
