How Putting Drills Can Give You Confidence on the Greens

Having a good practice routine will help you putt your best on a consistent basis.  I recommend having a handful of drills that you can use on the practice greens for building confidence as well as developing a consistent putting stroke.  Confident putting is built first on the practice green.  I have a few putting drills that I like to use on a pretty regular basis when I’m on the practice greens. 

I recommend having a drill for speed, alignment, and one or two for your putting stroke.  There are many drills that pros and teaching instructors have come up with that work well.  I think you should use what feels most comfortable and what seems to build your confidence and trust in your putting stroke.  You may want to try some different putting drills and pick the ones that work best for you. 

The goal in putting is to putt well when it matters.  A common problem is to putt well on the practice putting greens when it doesn’t count only to go out on the golf course and succumb to the pressure of your actual round of golf along with wanting to shoot a good score.  A big key to success is using drills that will build your confidence on the practice greens so you can then go out on the course and get good results with your putting. 

An example of a good drill I like using is what I call the one-handed drill.  I pick a spot about 5-10 feet away from a hole on the practice green.  Then I simply drop three golf balls down and putt to the hole with my right hand only.  I will hit about ten putts or so this way and then I’ll switch to using my left hand only.  Again, I’ll hit about ten putts or so.  Now, after practicing with each hand by itself, I will hit some more putts with both hands on the putter.  With both hands on the putter, I’ll try to capture the feel of my putting stroke when I used only one hand.  If you try this drill, you’ll notice you become more sensitized to the feel of the weight of the putter head and will naturally start to develop a nice rhythm for your putting stroke.
