The One Putting Drill That Covers Everything

Green reading, speed, and start line—check, check, check ✅

🧠 A Single Drill to Transform Your Putting

If you’re looking for a simple, repeatable putting drill that works on green reading, pace control, and start line, this one is for you.

In the video, we set up a 10-foot putt using the Tour Read Golf app. The app gives us a precise read: 16 inches left of center at one foot past the hole. That’s where we’re going to aim—and where we’ll set our targets.

Let’s break it down 👇

🛠️ Drill Setup: 3 Key Elements

  1. Tee at the Aim Point

    First, we place a tee 16 inches left of the center of the cup. That’s where we want our ball to pass through—this is our true aim point, not the hole.

  2. Tee One Foot Past the Hole

    Since Tour Read calculates putts based on one foot past speed, we place a second tee just behind the hole to make sure our pace is dialed in.

  3. Start Line Gate

    Finally, we set up a gate between our ball and the aim point tee. This forces us to control our start line, ensuring the ball is launched on the correct path.

Now all we do is go through our routine, line up to the left tee, and roll it through the gate with the right pace.

✅ Green reading

✅ Start line control

✅ Perfect speed

One drill—three critical putting skills.

💬 Why This Works

Most golfers aim at the hole and miss low. But elite putters aim where the break tells them, hit it with the right speed, and start it on line.

This drill gives you instant feedback on all three.

🎯 You’ll know if you aimed correctly.

🎯 You’ll know if your pace is right.

🎯 You’ll know if your stroke started on line.
