Hit your start line more often

ANDY TAYLOR

Pop a tee in the ground and place your ball next to it, close enough so the putter’s toe just misses it. Now create a gate no more than a foot in front with two more pegs, just wider than the ball. Now simply take aim at the gate and try to stroke balls through it. If you are regularly hitting either tee, it reveals a problem with hitting your chosen start line … and the cause of your missed putts. Keep going to train your ability to send the ball off down your intended line.
