Hole More Putts and Three Putt Less

Here is an exercise that if you practice it, you will improve your putting!! It is all up to you.

This exercise was devised by Dave Pelz who is one of the world's leading short game instructors. It is called the safety draw back game. It is very simple to play and I urge you to do so.

1. When putting to the hole your ball must either finish in the hole or within 1 club length past the hole. If your ball finishes within a club length past the hole, you may continue playing and hole out from where the ball lies.
2. If your ball finishes short of the hole you must move the ball 1 club length further away from the hole and then attempt to either hole the putt or get the ball to finish within 1 club length past the hole and hole out from there.
3. If your ball finishes past the hole, but outside a club length past the hole you must move the ball 1 club length further away from the hole. Then attempt to either hole the putt or get the ball to finish within 1 club length past the hole and hole out from there.
4. When doing this exercise please perform your routine as though you are playing in a competition. It will make your practice more valuable.

Good luck and work hard.

Cheers
