Putting Ladder Drill

To improve distance control and prevent 3-putts, do the following “Ladder Putting Drill”:

Putt 10 balls from the same location. Make each putt stop 1-foot SHORTER than the previous putt.

Repeat, making each putt 1- foot LONGER than the previous putt.

When completed, there should be 10 balls equally spaced 1-foot from each other in a straight line on the green.
