So what do you do to sharpen your chipping and putting?
I assume this thread is just on putting...

I try to work on my control... putting 12-14 footers on a decent line, but at the proper speed. Once I can put a 12 footer and 20 footer within 1-2 feet I know I can 2 putt from anywhere.

Then I finish with 5-6 footers. 3 footers are silly to practice. You can practice for years but a 3 footer is simply a matter of making a 3 inch motion with your arms and keeping your hands still.

6-7 footers require a proper putt, a good line and speed. Once speed is nailed down (12-20 footers) you can finish with the stance and line.

Most people are happy to lag a 18 footer to 1 foot and tap in, but the 7 footers you want to make.
