This putting guru's simple drill helped me make more putts immediately

A single putting lesson with PGA Tour consultant Stephen Sweeney transformed a golfer’s short game, helping them escape a prolonged slump and consistently sink more putts. After struggling with inconsistent roll early in the season, the player sought expert guidance to refine their stroke and green-reading skills.

Sweeney introduced a straightforward drill using a buried tee as a reference point and a gate a foot ahead to focus the putter’s alignment. By concentrating on rolling the ball straight through the gate, the golfer reported immediate improvements in accuracy and confidence, later applying the same mental approach to on-course putts by targeting a spot one foot ahead of the ball.

The shift in technique led to a noticeable uptick in made putts, proving how small adjustments can yield significant results.
