Struggling with short putts? One of the best ways to improve your accuracy and confidence on the greens is by using the Gate Drill. This simple drill helps ensure you're striking putts on the center of the face and rolling them on your intended line.
How to Do the Gate Drill:
- Set Up a Gate – Place two tees slightly wider than your putter head, just in front of the ball.
- Square Your Putter Face – Align your putter so it’s aimed at your target.
- Make a Smooth Stroke – Your goal is to roll the ball through the "gate" without hitting the tees.
- Repeat and Adjust – If you hit the tees, it means your stroke is misaligned. Keep practicing until you're consistently rolling the ball cleanly through the gate.
Why It Works:
This drill reinforces proper path and face control, reducing mishits and increasing your consistency on short putts. With just a few minutes of practice each round, you’ll see a big improvement in your confidence inside 10 feet.
Try it before your next round and watch your putting stroke become rock solid. Stay steady, stay smooth, and always stay happy on the greens! ⛳😃 #HappyGolf
