The Inner Circle

Putting is probably the least practiced part of the game! Most players I coach know the importance of it but apart from a few putts before they go and play they rarely step foot on the practice green.

"It's boring" most of my pupils say...and I agree it's not as sexy or satifying as seeing a purely struck iron tracking the target or a Driver bombed straight and long but a 3ft putt is still a shot and holds as much importance.

So how can we make putting sexier?

There are many drills and exercises out there to challenge you and this 'Inner Circle Drill' is just one of them.

I challenge you to try this out and let me know how you get on. Start from 3ft (about a putter length) and place 5 tee pegs around the hole.

Using one ball hit 10 putts, this will give you your out of 100 percentage.

I want you to do this until you hole 10/10, only then can you move back to 4ft.

The idea of this is to build your confidence from close to the hole. Once you know your Inner Circle size all you have to do is get your first putt inside the circle to guarantee a 2 putt.

If you find yourself struggling from this range then I have the perfect solution. My 7 Day Putting Challenge
