Routine
⏱️ Total Time: 30–40 minutes ✅ Step 1: Calibration & Warm-Up (5–10 minutes) Use a putting mirror to calibrate your setup and alignment. Begin with a light warm-up: stretch, get your feel for the green. 🔁 Step 2: Short Straight Putts (5 minutes) Find a straight putt inside 8 feet. Use an aim aid (e.g., a line or gate) for the first 10 putts. Remove it after. Hit multiple putt; reset your setup each time. Focus on a consistent pre-shot routine and comfort in your stance. 📏 Step 3: Speed Control – Ladder Drill (10 minutes) Use 3 balls for this drill. From a starting point, putt uphill to 10ft, 20ft, 30ft, and 40ft. Then do the same downhill back toward a hole. Total: 24 putts. The goal is to feel distance control, not to hole the putts. 🎲 Step 4: Random Distance Challenge (5 minutes) Use 1 ball only Hit putts from 20+ feet to different holes, changing slopes and angles. Every putt should be unique — simulate real-game unpredictability. 🧠 Step 5: Pressure Routine – Final Reps (10 minutes) Use 1 ball, treat each putt as game-like. Begin at 10 feet. After each putt, change angle and move one foot closer. Work your way down to 3 feet. Focus on holing every putt from 6 feet and in. If you miss inside 6 feet, retry. Perform your full routine on each putt — this is your mental prep before heading to the course. Alternate
Quick Session (if you’re short on time – 10 minutes total)
Use 1 ball only: 1. Hit 5 different putts from beyond 30 feet to various holes. 2. Choose one hole: hit a 20ft, 15ft, and 10ft putt, changing angle each time. 3. New hole: hit 8ft, 6ft, and 4ft putts from different angles. 4. Finish with: Two 5ft breaking putts (left-to-right & right-to-left) Two 3ft putts (one downhill, one uphill) |
