Tom's Featured Tip: Practice Like Tiger
For simplicity, all advice on actual swings or drills is provided from a right handed perspective.
I recently read an article on how Tiger Woods practices - mostly putting, but a couple of other key thoughts too.
In my humble opinion, Tiger is the G.O.A.T. of golf, so if I can emulate something he does in practice, I'm pretty much going to.
Here's are his thoughts.
Tiger explained how he consistently focuses on his putting from 6 feet and in before going straight into a heavy workload of lag putting.
"I end up doing a few sets of chalk lines from probably about 6 feet and in. I work on my start line (and) I try and get that dialed in. And then I really don't spend a whole lot of time in the 8-15 foot range.
"Once I get a lot of my dialed-in time on my putting, then I'll lag putt a lot and start trying to get my feel in my fingers and how I like to release the putter and feel it in my stroke. I like to do the designated tee drill (there are a zillion tee drills, google it) , the line drill and then lag putt to death."
In addition to his putting practice routine, he also gave some valuable insights into how he likes to practice.
- Tiger keeps his backyard putting greens rolling around 13 on the Stimpmeter, which serves as his baseline putting speed feel.
- Here are a couple pictures of my own backyard practice green (17' x 37') that I installed last month.
I keep it rolling at about 10 because most of my students don't play on anything faster. I also am getting in a lot of greenside chipping practice.
If you are interested in your own backyard green give me a call.
- He prefers practicing into the wind, because wind magnifies spin and tells him where he's off.
- He keeps his putting drills simple, using only a few tees and a chalk line.
- He practices his six- to eight-footers and his lag putts often, but doesn't spend much time in the eight- to 15-foot range. Tour Pro's make, on average, 50% of their 8 foot putts, so he's trying to up the ante for himself.
