For Drivers, Irons, Putting?

Irons and Driver- My favorite drill is to line up 4-10 balls...and with a constant movement hit them all without stopping...it's all about going slow and taking your time..

Place 5 tees or balls in the ground 4 inches apart in a line.
Stand just inside the closest tee and begin swinging a p-wedge back and through with a continuous swing motion.
Begin walking forward, hitting each ball about 10-30 yards depending on how your rythym is ( consistency is key ) .

My favorite putting advice was have three types of swings, a short, medium, and long putt stroke...sort of like sights on a compound bow....and just practice those strokes..trying to get the balls to stop hopefully in a tight cluster.. ( for speed )

My favorite drill is to drink a 12 pack in the parking lot listening to some Pink Floyd while everyone else is on the range. It seems to get me in a zone.

Putting: 3-6-9

fine a relatively straight, slightly uphill putt on the practice green.

mark three stations, 3 feet, 6 feet and 9 feet from the hole

put three balls at each station

start closest to the hole and try to make all nine balls in a row

each time you miss a putt, put all the balls back at their stations and start the whole thing again

if you finish the drill, crow hop into a TW fist pump because you've accomplished something. i've only done it twice, and the first time took two hours of nonstop putting.

it's so much harder than it sounds, even if you can find a perfectly flat, straight putt (which you want to find if you can).

it doesn't help lagging much, to be frank, but if you work hard on 3-6-9, you can't help but improve your putting inside 10 feet, which means more up and downs, more two-putts, less three-putts and better scoring.

and the best part: even if you can't actually finish the 3-6-9 drill, if you work at it hard for 30 minutes or an hour or more, you improve.

for those of you who play "that's good" and don't putt out, the so-called golfers who count putts inside the leather, it won't help you. you're not a golfer, anyway, so no harm no foul.

for those of you who play USGA rules, do it. those 2-4 footers start becoming child's play.
