Golf Putting Drills

If lowering your golf score is a priority, golf putting drills with tees are an efficient way to do so. This type of drill can help you lower your overall number of strokes significantly which is very helpful if you prefer short games. Eliminate three, four and five putts once and for all with the proper use of these drills. Here are the areas where this type of drill will produce the most improvement.

• Ensuring the face stays square - To help keep the blade open or closed when hitting the ball, place your ball on the practice green. About twelve inches behind your ball, put your tee in the ground. Take a silver coin and put it six inches in front of the ball on the ground also. Swing the putter back until it slightly touches the tee. Now swing it in a forward motion. Make sure the face remains square throughout the swing including when it moves over the coin.
• Maintaining control even when going long distances - Practice helps to develop this skill. When practicing, place five tees in the ground. Have them approximately four feet apart so the last one is about twenty feet from your starting line. Practice hitting the ball to each tee consistently. Your ball may roll slightly past the tee which is okay, but if it is far off of the mark every time, more practice is needed. Distance is the focus of this exercise which allows you to get the feel of both the shot and the club.
• Swinging smoothly from start to finish - Many believe brute force is the key to a good golf game. Nothing is further from the truth. The key to a good game is a smooth swing which combines both power and balance. To improve in this area, insert a tee in the ground. Place your ball twelve inches from the tee on the practice green. Swing the club in a backward motion until it taps the tee and immdiately move into the fore swing. Move your arms back and forth in the manner while keeping your hands steady.

Many other golf putting drills with tees are available from either golfing websites or golf pros. Time and energy will be required on your part in the form of practice. By following through with these drills, you can improve your game significantly and you will appreciate the time you have put in.
