1. Holing out

The expectations of making short putts are high and some people put too much pressure on themselves – they get a little ‘wristy’. You want to stand still, get a solid base and just use your shoulders. Try keeping your head down a little longer and listen for when the ball goes in the hole, rather than moving your whole body.

I work on a drill where I just ‘brush’ the putter forward – so there’s no real backswing. You want to just stroke the ball in and get the clubhead almost moving over the hole. Lots of people have a long swing and they stop – and then the ball will go off line. This is a great exercise from close range because it gets you used to accelerating through the ball. You should find it really improves your roll, too.
