Hole 6 Foot Putts

Aug 26, 2016 | 9:06 AM

Are you missing too many crucial par putts or do you often miss on the low side of the hole?

Six-foot putts are crucial, because if you can regularly hole these you’ll maintain your momentum.

This drill is designed to help you groove a better stroke, while also gaining a feel for how subtle breaks can affect short putts.

First find a dead-straight six-footer, next create a tunnel using two clubs through which the ball will travel to the hole. Start by hitting a series of putts through the tunnel – this is a great way to see if you are setting the ball rolling on the intended line. Once you feel happy with that, find a putt with a subtle break and aim the shafts at the high side of the hole. Hit the ball through the shafts and let it take the break at the end and go into the hole.
