Games on the Putting Green?

Question

What are some fun games that I can play by myself or just anything to do other than just putt while practicing on the green?

Answer 1

I don't know if he does this anymore or not, but i think it was Phil Mickelson who would practice his three foot putts like this:

Make 100 in a row that are straight

Make 100 in a row that break left

Make 100 in a row that break right

this will put a large amount of strain on the lower back though, so hope you don't have problems with that

In high school, we used to practice together and have elimination contests and the last person got a dollar or fifty cents from everyone.

Answer 2

There is a game you can play with someone called 7.  I suppose you can play it by yourself, but it's more fun to play with someone.  Basically, whoever is closest to the hole gets a point.  The first to 7 is the winner.  In the advent of both of you making the putt, no one scores.

Answer 3

Pull back game - when practicing any putt, if you come up short, regardless of distance, you have to pull the ball back more than the putter length and make the putt.  Makes you putt aggressive and past the hole.

Around the world - 8 balls; 2 at each point on the compass - east, west, north and south about 8ft away.  Try to make them all.

Putting towards a tee instead of the hole. Forces you to focus on a small point to hit.

Answer 4

There is not really that many fun games to do but yourself on the putting green. I suggest you listen to some music while practicing.  It makes it more enjoyable.

Good luck!
