Putting Drill from Bobby Eldridge

Most golfers I come across could improve so much if they would work on their "touch" or "feel". Assuming that the greens you are used to putting on are slower than your garage floor, you can get an edge on your buddies by driving down to Home Depot and buying a twelve-foot long strip of indoor-outdoor carpeting. This is where the fun begins.

After you have laid the carpet out, mark a spot every three feet. If you can spend the next couple months rolling a few putts everyday on the carpet, you will not believe what it will do for
your touch and that's no joke. OK, here is a simple exercise that will take a few minutes to complete while your coffee is brewing in the morning.

Putt three balls to the first line (without) any of the balls rolling past the line. If you hit one or more balls past the first line, start over. Putt three balls to the first line until you stop all three short of the line. Next, putt three balls to the next line without any of the balls going past the second line.

Continue this exercise until you have stopped all three balls short of the end of the carpet. This exercise might take a month before you can complete this exercise without rolling any balls past your target. Be patient, your touch will come to you before you know it!
