Course Curriculum

3 Core Areas of Focus

Reading the Green
What’s your process?

Start Line
Affected by your alignment process, set-up and putter (effective loft, length & lie angle)

Speed
Speed is king. Get really good at vacation putts.

Other Factors to Consider

Doubt
Determine why and replace with commitment.

Equipment
Understanding your putter’s role in your stroke.

Stroke
An inefficient stroke due to possible excessive movement with hands or body.

Misconceptions

Set-up & Equipment Variables
Understanding how your putter affects your set-up and how the ball launches.

Energy Factor
“I need to give more energy” (change stroke for longer and shorter putts).

Roll-Factor
Ball should forward spin, which means any bounce or skid affects speed.

Goals for Your Training

Long Putts
With a focus on getting your first putt within a vacation zone (tap-in range), you’ll enjoy lower scores with less putts per round. Your pals will be quite envious of your awesome pressure-free putting.

Short Putts
Back of cup.

Dispersion Pattern
Your dispersion pattern on first putts out on the course are indicators of your putting strengths and weak areas.

STEP 1: Assessment Time

STEP 1 IMPACT POINT
Where are you consistently making contact?
– Heel or toe?
– High or low?
– Center-cut?

STEP 2 YOUR NUMBERS
What are your stats on and off the course?
– Putts per round?
– Putts made under 10 feet?
– Tempo ratio?
– Number of vacations per round?

STEP 3 DISPERSION
Let’s find out your dispersion pattern.
– Is it tight around the hole or all over the map?
– Does it favor one side of the cup?
– Does distance variance affect results?

STEP 2: Training Your Process

STEP 1: Reading the Green
Develop a consistent process of reading the green

STEP 2 Pace of Routine
Develop a consistent and efficient pace – and it is much quicker than you think.

STEP 3: Developing a Process for Consistent Speed
– Ideal ratio is 2 to 1. The backstroke is twice as long as the forward stroke, regardless of length.
– If off… let’s find out why?

STEP 3: Training Your Technique

STEP 1: Get Feel
– Toss drill. No putter required.

STEP 2: Get Solid
– Understand and groove set-up
– Intended line with a cool marker to boot
– Shafts to FEEL the stroke the way it should feel
– Get better contact with a focus on set-up and the wobble

STEP 3: Check your Face/Path
– Creating a Face/Path station to ensure a square face and efficient path

STEP 4: Tempo Training
– What is your consistent rhythm?
– Metronome app to feel even tempo
– BlastGolf app and sensor to train 2 to 1

STEP 4: Fun Practice - Grab a Pal

Training Games:
– Leap Frog
– Tiny hole
– Humpty
– Tic Tac
– Phil’s Game
– Eyes Closed
