Now that I’ve gone through some of the fundamentals putting, I want to change my focus to doing putting drills! I was supposed to golf a couple times last week but cancelled due to weather. I always have thought there is no way I can putt from home, it’s just not the same. Then I thought to myself, I’m here to get out of my comfort zone and try some new things!
So what I did was search on YouTube “Putting from home for beginners” and I found the video by Feel Good Golf called “I tried Rory Mcilroy’s Home Putting Drills….(in 2 minutes)“. After I watched the video, It quickly changed my mind on practicing putting from home. Here’s why:
- The video is only 2 minutes
- Sharpie, coin, cup, putter, ball is all you need
- The video looks at control, comfortability, and speed
- Easy to understand and follow
Check the video for yourself!
What I learned in the process:
- Shading half your ball in sharpie allows for you to see what the putter face is doing when contacting the ball.
- The coin on the putter drill allows you to understand the importance of speed and control. THIS ONE WAS MY FAVOURITE!!
- The last drill is great for two reasons, One being keeping your eye on the ball and also to help you from grounding your club which really can affect your putt.
Before, I would have only practiced putting on a actual green but after watching this video I learned how helpful simple little drills from home can benefit your putting game! I would encourage all to check out this video as it helped me! I am hoping to get some practice on the green and I am excited to share some content of my progress!
