Save Two Stokes a Round I have heard that Phil Mickelson spent 30 minutes on the Augusta practice green putting only 3 footers. If it seems like a waste of time to you consider this, 99% of all 3 footers on tour are holed out. Recreational golfers miss an average of 2 per round. Take a tip from Phil, before the next round you play putt 15 three footers. If you miss any, start over. Your confidence will soar, and the 2 strokes you save might get you a free drink after the round. This is a drill you can practice indoors before our season arrives with an inexpensive putting mat, so get your putting game in line early this year and practice this drill.
