Lastly, there are two general “types” of practice. Block practice is where you perform the
same task over and over. This might be hitting the same 10-foot putt a number of times in a
row, or rolling balls down a yardstick until you can do it properly 20 times in a row. Random
practice is simply not hitting the same shot twice in a row. You might have a series of putts
that you hit in order a few times, as in the Four Points drill, or where you never hit the same
putt twice, as in the Gauntlet. There is a place for each of these forms of practice. Outlined in
this month’s Links Lessons are just a few of the many drills that you can use to improve your
putting.
