Putting Games to Hone Your Skills on the Practice Green
Practicing your putting doesn’t have to be monotonous. Engaging in various putting games can make your practice sessions more enjoyable while significantly improving your skills. Here are some fun and effective putting games you can try on the practice green.
1. Around the World
Place tees or markers in a circle around the hole, about three feet away. Try to make putts from each marker in succession. If you miss, you must start over from the beginning. This game helps improve your consistency and pressure-putting ability. With the superior feel and balance of TimberTouch putters, you'll find it easier to maintain a steady stroke and sink those critical putts.
2. Ladder Drill
Place a series of tees in a line, starting from three feet away from the hole and extending out to about 15 feet, with each tee three feet apart. Putt from each tee in succession, trying to make each putt. If you miss, start over from the beginning. This drill helps you develop a consistent stroke for varying distances. The precise design of TimberTouch putters ensures that each stroke is smooth and controlled, aiding in distance control and accuracy.
3. Clock Drill
Arrange balls in a circle around the hole, like the numbers on a clock, at three-foot intervals. Start at one “hour” and move around the clock, putting from each position. This game is excellent for practicing putts from different angles and breaks. TimberTouch putters, with their high MOI (Moment of Inertia), provide stability and reduce twisting, making it easier to handle different putting lines.
4. One-Putt Challenge
Place balls at various distances from the hole, ranging from three to 15 feet. Your goal is to make as many one-putts as possible. This game helps simulate real on-course pressure and improves your ability to make crucial putts. The exotic wood faces of TimberTouch putters give you a better feel for each putt, enhancing your touch and accuracy.
5. Putt Out of Your Comfort Zone
Choose a spot on the green that presents a challenging putt, such as a severe slope or long distance. Putt from this spot repeatedly until you make it three times in a row. This game helps you practice under difficult conditions and build confidence in tough putts. TimberTouch putters, known for their beautiful design and precision, help you approach each challenging putt with confidence.
6. Match Play Putting
Compete against a friend in a match play format on the practice green. Take turns picking spots to putt from and keep score just like in a real match. This game adds a competitive element to your practice and helps you develop a match play mindset. The consistent performance and unique design of TimberTouch putters ensure you have a reliable tool to outplay your opponent.
7. Speed Drill
Set up three balls at three different distances from the hole (e.g., three feet, six feet, nine feet). Putt each ball in succession, aiming to make all three. This drill helps with speed control and transitioning between different distances. TimberTouch putters' balanced weight distribution helps you gauge and control the speed of your putts effectively.
