Setup

Step 1.
  • Find a hole on practice putting green. Putt has to be fairly straight.
Step 2.
  • Take the flagstick out of the hole and place Alignment stick or
flagstick a club length behind the hole perpendicular to your putting line.
Step 3.
  • Then drop 3-5 balls, starting close to the hole
( Distance from the hole depends on your preferences and difficulty you want ).
Try to make at least 4 different distances during this drill ( optional distance ).

Goal

  • The point is to either sink all your putts in the hole or for them to go past the hole but not hit the Alignment stick or flagstick, acting as a tripwire.
  • If you accomplish this, then start another round a few yards farther back ( again distance depend on your preferences ).
  • If you come up short of the hole or hit the tripwire ( Alignment stick / Flagstick ), start the round over again.
  • This game will help eliminate three putts from your game.
