Learning the Push Drill.
Putting is such an important part of playing and scoring well, so it is worth spending a lot of time perfecting a good putting stroke. Straight back and straight through, keeping the putter face square to the target line is imperative, so here is a drill to achieve that!
The Method.
Start with two alignment sticks and create a track aimed at a target and is slightly wider than your putter.
Part 1 -
Put the putter directly behind the ball and push the ball towards the hole with no backswing. Do this 10 times.
Part 2 -
Put the putter about six inches behind the ball. From there, you push the putter through to the hole. Keep the putter head traveling straight through with a follow-through at least 12 inches and the putter face staying perfectly square to the intended line. Do this 10 times.
Part 3 -
This is now combining Parts 1 and 2 and putting it all together in a nice smooth stroke. Still being aware that the putter is moving straight back and straight through. The putter face should stay square to the intended line. Do this 10 times.
Do this regularly, either at home on a carpet or putting green at the practice facility. You will develop the ability to hit the ball on the intended line almost every time. This will increase your percentage holed on your short putts and improve your three-putts because you always hit the ball on the line to the hole.
