Exercise within 1 yard o the hole (no further):
1. Do 3 practiceswings where you check that the face of the club goes straight back and forth withouth twisting. Only look the the club and not the ball.

2. Hit 3 putts with a ball where you check that the face of the club go straight back and forth withouth twisting. Look just at the club and not the ball.

3. Do 3 practiceswings where you check that the hands are stiff (without bending or twisting). Look just at the hands and not the ball.

4. Hit 3 putts where you check that the hands are stiff (without bending or twisting). Look just at the the hands and not the ball.

5. Repeate these excercises but hold the grip a little tighter.  
 
These excercises will make you a better short putter and especially under pressure. Why? Because you have total controll!


See the LINE!
Bill Garret showed during his 62-stroke round in SEO (Scandinavian Masters in the 80's) what good putting truely means. His strong side when it came to putting was always seeing the line of the putt.

He keeps the ball forward in the stance and keeps his head diagonally behind the ball. That way he can see the line and the hole in the corner of his left eye (righthanded player) at all times without having to look up at the target.

Many make the misstake of lifting the head and looking at the hole horizontally. This doesn't display the line in the same manner.
 
 
Excercises withing 2-3 yards of the hole. (no tilt):
1. Set up above the ball and try to see the invisible line that goes from the ball to the hole.

2. Set up above the ball and turn your head only a few inches so as to see the hole in the corner of your eye.
 
3. Hit 3 putts where you hit the ball without looking up.
 
4. Hit 3 puts where you hit the ball along the line when your only looking at the hole through the corner of your eye.
 
Do these excercises in combination with the hand/face of the club-excercises. It gives you even more controll and a "feel" for the hole.
