There are as many variations on this drill as your imagination can come up with. Different number of balls. Different lengths. I think Sabrina and Gabby both toss down a number of balls between about 2 and 6 or 7 feet in random locations and try to sink them all. (I think Sabrina sticks tee pegs down and putts from those stations, but it's the same drill.) There's also the spiral drill. It's very similar to yours, really. Put one ball down at 2 or 3 feet. Move a couple of feet to the right around the hole and put another down a foot farther away. Move the same amount to the right again and put another ball down another foot farther out, and so on. Go out to 6 or 7 feet. Make 'em all in order, or repeat until you do. All of these are variations on the classic Walter Travis clock drill, designed to create more variation than simply hitting 4-6 putts of the same length around the hole, then moving out a foot to the next circle. The more randomized variations are great for more intermediate to advanced putters. But nothing beats the Clock drill for beginners who need to get their basics down. Start with 2, 3 and 4 feet. Bread and butter for newer golfers. Add 5, 6, even 7 or 8 as you get better.
I used to do the 2, 4, 6 footers at the compass points and had to make all 12 or...Begin again...pressure all over those 4 in the 6 foot circle when you get there.
That's the classic Walter Travis clock drill, or a variation on it. His was make each circle before you move out one foot to the next. He'd place them uphill, downhill, and either side. You can either repeat the circle you failed until you get it, or if you really grind your teeth over it, go right back to the beginning if you miss. That one's for more advanced players. It's basically your drill, but in 1 foot increments. According to Tommy Armour, Travis was one of the most uniformly consistent putters he'd ever seen.
@@seanbaines Another favourite is the quickest I know for gauging pace on unfamiliar greens by hitting a first putt (like approx. 10 ft) then trying to come up a foot past, a foot short, a foot past the second putt, a foot short of the third, and so on.
I'm definitely trying this😊
Nice tip !
Thanks for sharing
Always did this back in high school. It was a good way to get used to pressure putts.
Will give it try
