RECOMMENDED ROUTINE

20-minute pre-round putting routine

Adapt timing to your practice green availability and arrival window.

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. Bentgrass holds its line cleanly, so misses from this range are usually face-angle errors, not green reads.

5 min

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

Uphill / downhill speed calibration

If the practice green has slope: hit 5 uphill and 5 downhill putts from the same distance. Hit at least 5 putts each direction. This is where the practice green tells you what the course will play like today.

5 min

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.
