Practice Drill

Just when your putting goes from bad to worse, a piece of advice is to experiment with one-handed putting on the practice green. According to Rick Smith, “This drill will help in two ways. First, it will teach you to release the putterhead properly, which is one of the first things to break down when you’re missing putts. The second thing this drill does is restore your hand-eye coordination. By using only one hand, you tend to forget about the mechanics of putting and simply stroke it to the hole.”
