Here’s another putting drill that I’m going to call the ladder drill. And this is pretty much a staple of all the good players you all love to see, all the tour players practicing this ladder drill before most made the competitions. It’s a great way of understanding distance control and pace of putting. It works on the principle of you need to be able to change how hard you hit putt by a little margin each time. And if you can change how hard you hit a putt by a foot margin each time that would be really good. So sometimes, you go on a course and then hit the putt down there and then say, Okay, I would do it again but just a little bit harder and you goes six foot past. A little bit softer, six foot short again. And it just shows that you don’t have the fine-tuned control of how hard that can hit putt. By practicing the ladder drill, you’ll definitely gain a lot more feel of your distance control. So what we’ve been looking for here is about ten or twenty foot distance, nice and flat on the putting green. Start with five balls, roll one down and then look where that one finishes and try and get the next ball to finish one foot past. It must finish past but not too much past. So this is my first putt rolls up and finishes here, my next putt should roll up and finish a little bit beyond. My next putt goes past number two. My next putt goes past number three. My next putt goes past number four, hence, making the steps of the ladder. Now if you could have this tight, so every ball goes back eight to nine inches beyond than the previous ball, the first and the last ball are quite comfortably within five feet of each other. And that’s a really successful execution of this putting exercise. So let me go and tell you, so each putt must go beyond the last putt but I don’t want to have massive spaces between all my putts. If that would be the case, the last one would be more than five feet from the first one that would not be an accurate, accurate enough execution of the putting drill. If you could get all five balls within five feet of each other, next time when you’re on a golf course, and you’ll look at a putt, and you think it feels about this distance, berth it slightly uphill so I needed extra bit of power. You could just turn the power lever and hit it just an extra foot further. If you think while it’s just rains of the greens of it slower, I’ll just add that extra one foot of power that would be really good. If all you can do is increase, decrease your power by increments of six feet at a time, you’ll not going to be good enough for just adding and reducing the power. So the ladder drill just before you go up in the golf course is a great way of checking that you’ve got good control of your stroke, good control of your distance and great control of how you can add and decrease the power on the golf course to minimize three putts.
