  1. you can do this in your house if you have wide open space

    take a coffe can or something big like that and get about 10 golf balls and then set it in the middle of the floor and start 2 feet back and then when you it all 10 balls more 10 more feet back and so on but when you get really good you can start make it more difficult with turns and stuffs and then after that start practice in your hard if you want

    it works best with carpet

    hope it helps

    our golf coach make us do it

    good luck


  2. his will help with putting straight. putt some sort of coin, dime, penny, nickel, or quarter and then try to putt over it at a decent speed. you could also buy a cheap putting thing that returns your ball or a more expensive one that roboticly shifts the putting surface.

  3. just go in your yard and practince a stroke that u do on the course

  5. i putt on my carpet and also my rug. my rug is a bunch of colored squares so i'll start on one end and putt to a corner or other colored square. I'm a little robotic with my putt stroke.

    I use a 1-2 count. i count 1-2, back then thru. the same count not matter the distance. how i gauge the distance is, i'll go back to say, my right toe on 1, then forward to my left toe on 2. same distance back and forward. on longer putts i'll bring the putter further back and go further forward. since i'm counting the same 1-2 rythym it get pretty easy to gauge my distances. normally just inside my right toe is a 6 ft putt. middle of my toe is a 10 footer. and just outside my foot is a 15-20 footer. practice that, it works pretty good for me. if you can get the speed right, thats most of putting. reading break will come with experience. but putting like this has pretty much eliminated 3 putts for me. i get the speed right that it has a chance to get in, and if it doesn't its close enough for a tap in.

  6. do those drills above, but set up with two books or magazines (best if their roughly the same size) and arrange them so they're spines form a track that your putterhead just barely fits into.  This will help your stroke path.  It won't help with speed (too hard to do on carpet) but it will help with getting your putts started on the right path.

  7. I don't practice putting at the range.  I do it in my home.  I don't use one of those little indoor putting greens like Sh*tbreak had in American Pie(although I have one).  I putt on my carpet.  It's typical carpet and the breaks change when I vacuum.  My theory on putting is that you putt to a spot.  I putt to one of the legs on my coffee or end tables and do it from different angles.  I putt from 3 to 20 feet.  I measured it so it would be accurate.  My putting has improved vastly since I stopped practicing putting at the range.  I will putt prior to a round just to get the speed of the greens.  Other than that, I practice at home.
