Golfing Indoors: How to Prepare for Off-Season Practice with Indoor Putting Greens
Did you know that about 40 percent of your golf game is spent putting? Putting is an essential component of your golf game, which means it is vital to practice and put in time to excel at this craft. One of the perfect times to work on your putting game is during the off-season with your very own at-home putting green turf. However, with your at-home green, you may wonder what you can do to refine your technique and improve your skills, which is why the putting green experts at Northeast Synthetic Turf have compiled the top drills to help you be on your way to becoming a pro.
Golf Drills To Practice On Your At-Home Putting Green:
Straight-Back Straight-Through Drill:
One excellent drill to start with is done by utilizing an alignment rod. In order to excel in this drill, you will want to place the rod along the toe of your putter head. Doing so will help you practice a straight back, assisting in a straight-through stroke.
The Gate Drill:
The gate drill is a famous drill by the legendary Tiger Woods. It helps you make good contact with the ball by placing a tee on both sides of your putter. When performing the drill, the goal is to hit your putts and not hit the tees. By not hitting the tees, you will improve the quality of your strike.
Beat The Box Drill:
Another great option, the beat-the-box drill, is about controlling your putt’s speed at varying distances. To start, you will draw a box around the hole. During this drill, you want the ball to end up in the box. Once the box is drawn, you will practice putting from various distances, including 5 feet, 10 feet, 15 feet, and so on. Doing this will help you achieve all of your goals and give your long putt a challenge.
The Compass Drill:
The compass drill is perfect for building confidence. To participate in this drill, you will need to put a tee 4 feet away from the hole in all four directions: North, South, East, and west. Your goal is to make 10 in a row from every tee. Doing so will get you out of your head and into the game with confidence and positive thoughts.
