Tip of the Week
;
Putt with your eyes closed for better feel!
If you are struggling with feel on the greens then here is a great drill to practice next time you are on the practice green:

Step 1 - Place three balls 10 feet from the hole
Step 2 - Putt the first ball as you would normally, with your eyes open.
Step 3 - Line up the second putt as normal with your eyes open, then close your eyes just before you make your stroke. Focus on the feel of the putter head during the stroke and try to guess where the ball will end up when it stops rolling. Do the same with the last ball.

Repeat this procedure moving to 20 feet, 30 feet, 40 feet and finally to 50 feet.

Your feel will improve greatly if you start incorporating this drill into the time you spend practicing your putting.

Happy practicing!

Regards,
Ryan
