Putting Acceleration Drill for Missing Short Putts

Few things in golf are more frustrating than crushing a drive off the tee, wedging it to 8 feet, and then completely missing the putt. To make it worse, your playing partner skanks a drive into the trees, skulls his second into a bunker, chunks his sand shot to 15 feet — and then drains it for par.

You both walk off with 4’s, but it feels like you should have beaten him by at least two strokes. That’s golf. But becoming a better putter to complement your improved ball striking is entirely achievable — and I’ve found what may be the perfect training aid to get you started in under 20 minutes.

The scenario above is practically autobiographical for every golfer, including myself. My putting had deteriorated from neglect while I was focused on driver work for the “Bomb Your Driver” series.
