Master Your Putting Speed: The Game-Changing ‘Baseline’ Drill for Greens Success!

Master Your Putting with the ‘Baseline’ Drill

If you’re looking to elevate your putting game, the ‘baseline’ drill is a fantastic tool that can help you master distance control on the greens.

To get started, place a tee or ball marker right at the edge of the hole. Then, position another ball about a putter-head’s length behind it, creating a direct line toward the hole. The goal? To consistently strike putts from your starting position and land them just short of that tee or marker—this will help you establish a reliable baseline distance.

By practicing this drill regularly, you’ll develop an acute sense of distance and refine your putting stroke. This focused approach will significantly boost your overall putting skills and confidence on the green

Try this around-the-world divot drill for instant ball-striking feedback

If you’re looking to improve your ball-striking, this around-the-world divot drill is a great place to start. This drill will help you to develop a consistent swing and make solid contact with the ball.

To perform the drill, start by placing a tee in the ground. Then, take a few practice swings, focusing on making a smooth, fluid motion. Once you have a good feel for your swing, take a real shot at the ball.

As you hit the ball, pay attention to where you take divots. Ideally, you want to take divots that are shallow and start about an inch behind the ball. If your divots are too deep or too shallow, it’s a sign that your swing is off.

Repeat this drill several times, focusing on making solid contact with the ball and taking consistent divots. With practice, you’ll be able to develop a swing that will help you hit the ball longer and straighter.
