Tiger's Gate Drill [6 minutes]
We do this a lot but we still are not sure it is enough!
From 3' away from the hole, place two tees just wider than the head of your putter creating a gate for your putter to swing through.
Start by hitting 12 putts with your right hand only (lefties should do this left handed), then 6 putts with both hands.
