How to practice with the golf putter

This is the first of a series of articles about simple games to improve your golf game. This first one will help you improve your judgment on the stroke to use on a variety of surfaces such as concrete, blacktop, wood floors, or putting green. It can be practiced alone or in friendly competition.

The game can be played alone, or in competition. Mark a point on the surface with a coin.

If you are playing it with a friend, both stand back-to-back as if in a duel at the mark and step of a certain number of natural walking steps. Here is where the putting contest begins. Each player has three balls to putt in turn. The goal is to see who can make the ball stop closest to the point. For example,

  • a ball within 1 club length = 5 points
  • a ball within 2 club lengths = 3 points
  • a ball within 3 club lengths = 1 point

Should another player strike the ball of the opponent, both balls are judged and scored from the point where they come to rest.
