Three must-try putting drills

1 Some players like to die the ball into the hole; others prefer to hit the back of the cup with more aggression. There’s no right approach – the key is to match speed with read. Set a series of tees up around a ‘ghost hole’ – or a similar moveable putting aid – from approximately four to 12 feet. Putt three balls from each station and try getting one to finish a foot past, one two feet by and the other three feet past, while also making sure you roll it over the hole.
