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. |

I like..I've seen similar drills.. 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. |
