“I've given you a very clear target quite close to the golf ball”
Why putts matter
A good putter covers up flaws in other areas of your game and gives consistent scoring confidence.
The drill steps
Place a submerged tee as reference point, build a gate a foot in front of it with two tees, aim to roll the ball through the gate.
How it works
Sweeney said the drill gives a clear target close to the ball to line up the putter better and visualize where to start.
