Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Read from Low Side

    Read putts from the low side of the break for accurate slope assessment.

  • Lag First

    Practice lag putting to 3 feet before working on holing long putts.

  • Mark Ball Properly

    Mark and replace ball on its exact spot — moving it even slightly is a penalty.

Safety Notes

  • Yell 'Fore!' immediately if your ball heads toward other players.
  • Stay alert during thunderstorms — golf courses are exposed to lightning.
  • Consult physician before new exercise if joint issues.
