re: how do yall practice putting?

I went to the putting green today and for the first time had a plan versus just hitting the ball. I set up 4 practice balls from 3’ at 12,3,6 and 9 around the hole. Made all 4 with ease. Then moved to 6’ and made them all and then moved to 9’. I spent the next 30 minutes trying to make all of them and I couldn’t before I had to stop. I then setup a 4’ circumference and lagged putts from 30’ inside the 4’ circumference. If I made the putt then I gave myself 3 points. If I made a putt inside the circumference and then made the next putt, 2 points. I played to 21 and then went home.
Next time, when I have more time if I miss the 2nd putt then I’m going to get -1 points.
It was frustrating not being able to complete the 9’ putt challenge. I was able to only make 2 in a row before missing one. I struggled with not coming up short regardless how many times I told myself to give it a chance.

How long did all of that take?

Don’t be too hard on yourself about those 9 footers. PGA average is somewhere around 60%

Speed Drill: I drop 5 balls along a line every 2-3 feet going away from the hole. Goal is to make, but not leave short nor run more than 2ft by. I do this in a clock pattern around a hole so I get up down and flat as well as left to right, right to left and straight.
Line Drill: 5 balls from 6-8 feet, clock patter around the hole
Finish with putting my five balls to a hole 20-30 feet away then doing the 3 foot circle for confidence from short range.

Delta Putt
This is a useful training aide that can be used at home. The instant feedback has been helpful to me when the stroke seems to go to shite. I have a real green 60 yards from my patio that I can walk down and practice on when play is slow on the course, but the feedback with the Delta Putt tells me more about my actual stroke. I do wish the little practice lane was twice the length that it is, but it works.

this. I keep a 48" metal ruler in my office. immediately lets you know if you started the ball on line or not.
I also keep a Sklz Putt Pocket in my office as well. Gets you putting the center of the cup vs hitting any part of the hole.

That's actually really cool. How difficult is it to put on the tour side?

90% of the time I don't get a chance to do that...I'll just putt a few on the corner of the first green.

The Tour side will really make you work for a good stroke. It will let you know right away if you put a lazy stroke on it.

I believe I was at the practice area (driving range and putting) for 90 min or so. Not really sure.

4 point drill from 3, 6, 9 feet to make sure your stroke is solid inside 9/10 feet. This is where I work on fundamentals the most. Grip, ball position, strike, head down, etc.
Then reverse ladder drill for pace. I find this drill to have a much greater impact on my game than any other drill.

I decided to look this up and surprisingly it’s 41% for down hill putts and 48% for uphill. If i had to say, I probably made less than 10%. Maybe next time I hit 50 balls around the same 4 spots and see what my average is. Instead of trying to make 4 in a row, just hit 50 putts to get an average to shoot for.
My 3’ was 100% as I was able to make all 4 in a row. Tour average is 96%. Get some PGA pros!

It’s less. 8’ is 50%, 80% from 5’.

Kitchen floor. Rolls about 30 on the stimp meter. Seriously, I work on speed on the practice greens. Worry about break on the course.

Gonna be honest. I think you just spent more time putting in one session than I’ve spent in my entire life
I’ve always been a good putter, it’s the rest of the game that gives me trouble
