Golf: Step Back

What a fantastic tool. I 've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...

Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

SET-UP:
Place 3 balls at 1,2 and 3 putter's lengths from the hole/target and place a ball marker next to each one.

ACTIVITY:
Starting with the ball nearest to the hole/target players attempt to putt the ball into the hole moving onto the next when successful.
Winner is the first to hole all 3 in a row. Teams of three or pairs can take turns alternately, or players can play individually.

COACHING POINTS

CHANGES

Easier: If a player misses they can carry on from the last point rather than returning to the start.

Harder: Play from further away, more balls in a row.
