Drill For Success

• Set up four tees around the hole at 3 feet, 6 feet and 9 feet (cross formation)
• Begin by putting the 3 footers and advance around the hole in a clockwise pattern as you make each one. After the 3 footers are made, move onto the 6 footers and then the 9 footers
• If you miss a putt, play reverts to your partner
• When it is your turn again, you must begin by going back to the last putt you made and make it again
• If you miss 3 times in a row you must go back to the start (very first 3 footer)
• The winner is the player who makes the last 9 footer
