Monthly Golf Tips by the Mel Sole Golf School.

 Watch as I go through the Step by Step Process of developing a solid, reliable putting stroke. The bad news is that it takes 6 weeks to complete.  The good news is you only have to do the drill for about 10 minutes, 3 or 4 times a week.

One of the key skills that sets amateur and professional golfers apart is a repeatable, square-to-square putting stroke. To help you put it like a pro, I  describe the Ultimate 6-Week Putting Drill designed to improve your putting accuracy. While 6 weeks is no quick fix, the time and effort you invest in this drill will give your short game a solid foundation.

Week 1.

Start with a yardstick, and put the putter in the middle of the yardstick and the putter's toe touching the edge of the yardstick.  All you will do from here is push the ball through to a point about 12" past where the ball was. 

You have 3 goals as you do this.

  1. You want to keep the toe of the putter on the ruler the whole time.
  2. Keep the putter face at 90 degrees to the yardstick.
  3. Keep the putter head fairly low to the ground.

Week 2.

Start with the putter 6" behind the ball.  Push the putter through, and don't stop until the putter has gone at least 12" past where the ball starting point was.

Week 3.

Start the putter at the ball, take the putter back 6" and through12" all in one smooth stroke.

Weeks 4, 5, and 6.

These weeks are the same as 1,2, and 3 but now with a target.
