I think that practicing really long putt can be a great habit to get in to if you want to eliminate three putts. If you cna control your speed from 50 or 60 feet, then usually controlling your speed from 30 feet is a piece of cake. Use the fringe to add variety to your distances and give a clear zone for accepable distance. I think this is better than doing long putts to a whole, where you may be discouraged by not making these putts.

This putting game is fringe lagging. So basically I've got a handful balls and
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
grab it about five. I'm going to hit puts to different spots. So from this
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
one particular spot, I'm going to hit to different angles and my goal is to
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,000
finish this within one foot of the fringe. So this is a speed control game, not
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
really a target game because I'm just kind of picking a vague spot on the
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
fringe. Now you can be real tough and say if it goes into the fringe it doesn't count.
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,000
So that's over one. Now we're going to aim a little bit further down the line.
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
And it's a good way to kind of start working on, let's over to with the same
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
distance into the fringe. So I'm calibrated a little strong today. But this is a
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
great game for working on controlling whether it's length of putt, pace of putt,
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000
kind of refining that skill of how you controlled speed. So now go a little bit
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:10,000
further down. And the more thing that's going to be point. All right, so that
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
one for three. The the flatter the green, the easier it's going to be, the more
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
that you have to work around hills, the more challenging it's going to be, but
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
also the less sensitive you're going to be as to how well you did with controlling
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
either the pace or the distance. So we'll go a little bit further.
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And might come up short. I was trying to gauge this little downhill. I think
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
you got in. Nope. One for four. Now we're going to go kind of all the way
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:55,000
down towards that tree. All right, so two for five. Not my best, but a good
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
way to work on distance control. You can free pace and put targets so that you
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
kind of have an idea of how you're calibrating and how you're gaging. But it's a
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000
good way to give you a target and solid feedback as far as how well you're
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
controlling the pace of your stroke.
