Step-By-Step Putting Drill for Alignment Instructions
We’re going to start about three feet away from the hole.
Set your putter face down, and you’re going to make a gate with the two tees a little bit further than the putter face. Now you have a gate to putt through.
Now, what Tiger Woods likes to do, is he starts with just right-handed putts only to begin with; so putt through the gate with only your right hand.
This is going to ensure that your stroke is straight back and straight through to the hole. Tiger Woods would do this drill and he would make 50 or 100 putts depending on the day.
After you’ve done the right-handed drill, let’s move on and putt with both hands.
Now that you’ve got a great feel, your putter head is going straight back and straight through into the cup.
