Scoring Zone - Forget Failing From Five Foot

The shorter putts can sometimes be the trickiest. Here’s a quick drill that will help you make more putts from five foot and in. Place five or six golf balls around a hole, all within five foot of the cup. If you putt the first one, move on to the second, if you sink that, move to the third and so on. But if you miss one, go back to the beginning and start again. See if you can get all six in a row. To add a bit of spice to the drill try to find a hole that is on a slope so you have to take the break into account as you go round the circle.

Short Game Academy in Association with Alasdair Good

Have you tried....... It may seem unconventional but your hybrid can be a great weapon in certain situations around the green. The hybrid is perfect if you find your ball up against a collar of rough as having a broad sole helps it to glide through the grass where sometimes the leading edge of an iron can get caught and stop the club, resulting in mishit shots. The trick is to use the hybrid like a putter, coming in from a shallow swing, keeping the club low with a pendulum movement, and pop the ball out of the rough and rolling along the green towards the pin.
