Winter Break Combine

Three tests, about 45 minutes, all indoors. Take it before you leave for break and again your first week back, then send your scorecard to your coach.

Putt 1 of 20

5 FT

from the 2 o’clock line

How to set this up, and why it’s here

Pick a hole with some break. 12 o’clock is the high side. Put tees at 3, 4, 5 and 6 feet on five lines: 12, 2, 5, 7 and 10 o’clock. One ball each, full routine, no second tries.

From 3 to 5 feet, PGA Tour players make 96.8% and scratch golfers make 76.9% (Golf Digest, Arccos and PGA Tour data, 2021-22). A new length and line every putt shows that gap. Hitting the same putt ten times hides it.
