Not because putting indoors is easy. It gets easier because the target stays put.
Hit six balls to the same line and by the fourth or fifth one you have more information than you would ever get on the golf course. You know how the last ball rolled. You know how much pace was missing. You can see the other balls sitting there. Without really meaning to, you start using them.
I have done plenty of that kind of practice. It looks good because ball after ball starts finishing around the same place, and you walk away feeling like the speed is coming along.
Then back to real life, the first long putt on the course comes up five feet short.
That is the part I want to work on today. We are going to leave the putting stroke alone What I want is for you to see a new distance, commit to it, make your normal stroke, and live with the first result.
Then I am going to change the distance.
Again. And again.
One ball, no correction ball.
If I were standing beside you, I would set three finish lines on the mat or green and ask you to roll one ball to each in a shuffled order. Retrieve the ball after every putt.
That last part matters.
I do not want the previous ball lying there telling you what 10 feet looks like. I want you to find 10 feet again.
That is the training.
