Warm Up Golf Putting Drill
This is a golf putting drill the professionals will practice over and over again, both at the start of their routine and at the end.
The benefit is to help establish your rhythm and consistency and help you quickly gain confidence.
The Circle Drill will get your rhythm and confidence going quickly. If you only have a few minutes before a game use this time by hitting a series of short putts to build confidence.
To Begin this Drill:
- Start by setting six to seven golf balls in a circle around the hole each a clubs length away about three feet.
- Then begin by putting each one and continue until you can get the entire circle in with out missing.
- Repeating this will help you quickly gain confidence and develop your tempo and rhythm.
Once your able to get the entire circle in without missing, then start another circle but this time place every other ball five feet away. Now you will be hitting a three foot putt then a five foot putt.
This will help you develop a feel for distance along with tempo and rhythm.
There is no better drill for practicing distance control then practicing with your eyes closed. The ability to visualize a putt in your mind will significantly improve your speed, distance and to trust your stoke.

Remember to keep checking your setup and posture. Your feet, shoulders and eyes should all be parallel to the target line. In addition, your back stroke length should not be more than your follow thru length.
