RECOMMENDED ROUTINE
20-minute pre-round putting routine
Adapt timing to your practice green availability and arrival window.
1
3–6 foot start-line check
Hit 10 putts from short range and watch your face control. Pick one ball mark or grass blade as a target — this is your line accuracy check before everything else. On bermuda, grain affects even short putts — pay attention to which direction the grass is leaning around the cup.

2
15 / 25 / 35 foot distance ladder
Build your stroke-length feel for the most common lag putt distances. Three putts at each distance. The goal is getting the second putt inside the leather, not making the first.
8 min
3
Uphill / downhill speed calibration
If the practice green has slope: hit 5 uphill and 5 downhill putts from the same distance. Spend extra time here. On a demanding course, speed calibration is the single highest-leverage thing you'll do before the round.

Pressure finish
Make 8 out of 10 from 4–6 feet before leaving. If you miss two in a row, reset the count. The goal is leaving the green with confidence, not a number. Greens may have more wear around the cup at high-traffic courses — your last putts will tell you what the actual surface is doing.
