String Drill

1. Simply take a string about 10 feet long or so and tie each end to the top of a pencil. Stick one pencil on the far side of the cup so that the string passes over the cup and then 9 feet back or so.
2. Set up with your ball and putter head directly under the string and roll putts. Watch your putter head swing back and forth under the string to monitor it's path.
3. Practice the String Drill to work on your putting path to give your eyes a point of reference with which to check path as it relates to the target line.
