Beer Bottle Drill

Problem

You are looking for a fun way to practice or improve your putting skills.

Cure

Try putting at something smaller than the hole. This will make putting easier over all because the cup will then appear much larger and therefore easier to sink the ball in it.

Therapy

Take a skinny bottle, such as a beer or water bottle and practice putting against it. Simply hitting it can be your goal but it would be better to hit it so that it has a limited roll of only a couple of inches. This way, when you switch back to hitting into the cup, you will not come up short or hit past it. You can also place the bottle into the putting cup after practicing hitting against it to help reinforce this drill.
