A great way to improve your lag putting.

Lag putting can be one of the most frustrating things to do in all of golf.  You are happy that you hit the green but you have a 45 foot putt.  Your first put sails 10 feet past and now you have a tough putt for par.  You miss that one and tap in for your bogey.  We have all been there.  Stropping the dreaded three putt is one the fastest ways of lowering your score. 

A great drill for helping with this is practicing the mindset that you must have.  It is very difficult to hole a lag putt but too many people try to.  Even for the pros it rarely ever happens.  When you try to make the putt, you put too much emphasise on hitting it perfectly from that far distance in order to make it.  Instead, think of a giant hole like the picture I included.  If you focus on hitting your lag putt inside of the circle, it dramatically reduces your chances of a three putt.  It is all mental when you are out on the course but if you truly focus on the big hole instead of the little one, it will greatly help your game.
