Do you put a couple of half hour sessions in during the week after work?

On your lunch break a couple times a week?

Do you try to set aside a time on the weekend?

Where and how often do you practice putting?

We have a group that plays stymie every Friday and Sunday.

It's made me a much better putter.

On the putting green right before the round. Never ever any other time.

Generally I spend 10-15 minutes after my round on the putting green while I finish off my last beer

Have a putting green at my house. Make 3 in a row most days after work. Sometime it takes 20 tries sometimes it's only 1

I probably practice about once every two weeks or so. Putting is the first place I go to before a round and before practicing either chipping, irons, or woods. I work on keeping my hands quiet and picking a spot 3 feet ahead of my ball. If I misread, I misread. Tempo/pace is also something I pay attention to but it's not what I work on most.

25 minutes at a time. Twice a week reading and different distance putts.

Couple days a week i go to the chipping and putting green and spend 45 minutes during my lunch break. It goes a long way when it comes to playing in a round trust me. I am not the best ball striker and it continuously saves me around the greens. One question fellow golfers. I have a tendency to leave my club face open at contact sometimes. Any drills I could do on the range to help shake this of?. It doesn't happen all the time but it comes in spells.

Putting is all mental. I make them in my head all day and it carries over to the course.

during lunch 2x a week I try to get some putting practice in.

Also reading Dave Stockton's Unconscious Putting book helps the mental side.

2 things that have helped my putting.

1. Keep your left ear still when putting. (Crenshaw)

2. Don't leave the putting green until you are 5 under on practice putts. Give yourself a bogey on 3 putts. It develops your mental game by adding pressure.

I try to get at least a couple days of practice in a week. Sometimes I'll spend more time on putting than others days. I really just practice whatever I feel like practicing that day. No set schedule or anything.

I never practice putting. I just keep buying new putters until I find one that works.
