PUTTING WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED
2m
Distance control in putting is the topic of this Mulligan Monday. Mike places two tees about 2 feet apart, and he is 10 feet away. He then sets up and makes a practice stroke to estimate the speed. He looks at the tees, returns to the ball, and then closes his eyes. He makes a putt. The object of this drill is to get the ball as close to the tees as possible; however, before you can open your eyes, you must guess if your putt is long or short. Mike then looks, and the ball is just a little too far. He adjusts and makes another putt. This time the ball was short, and Mike could tell his putt was weak. Close your eyes after making a practice stroke and putt. Tell yourself if you were right or wrong, and then look. You will get a better feel for distance if you practice this drill.
