Have you been struggling with your putting? Well, here is the correct practice routine. Let's get to it. Step one, we're going to go to 30 feet. I'm going to mark it with my beautiful claw breaker. All right, at 30 ft. Now, basically, my practice routine is pretty simple. So, I'm going to teach you guys what I would do and also some things that I kind of incorporate to, I think, further it also make it kind of a game. That way, it's fun. So, my practice routine, I get a stack of 10 putters. If you can get 10 of the same putter, it's really important. I'm going to go to 30 feet. And what I'm going to do is just putt 30 sets of 10. So, I get 300 putts in. When you have 10 putters, it really doesn't take that long. It might take somewhere between like 25 to 30 minutes as long as you're getting the reps in quick.

Just putt 100 putts, see where you fair from different distances, and then you can kind of judge where you want to start your putting. So, for me, it's kind of always been right at 30 ft. The other thing I realized with 30 feet is it kind of translates to farther putts. So, I don't really need to practice anything closer than that and it extends probably to about 45 feet where I still feel comfortable. Once you have established the range you're putting at, the next thing is you want to establish your feet and your positioning and your alignment of your body. Whenever I'm putting in the same spot for a long time, especially if it's outside, I actually begin to make like footprints in the grass. And that way, I know that my feet go there every single time so I...
