RECOMMENDED ROUTINE
20-minute pre-round putting routine
Adapt timing to your practice green availability and arrival window.
1
3–6 foot start-line check
Hit 10 putts from short range and watch your face control. Pick one ball mark or grass blade as a target — this is your line accuracy check before everything else. Poa surfaces get bumpy through the day. Your morning misses may differ from your afternoon misses.
5 min
2
15 / 25 / 35 foot distance ladder
Build your stroke-length feel for the most common lag putt distances. Three putts at each distance. The goal is getting the second putt inside the leather, not making the first. Standard slope means typical green complexes — give yourself reads from at least two angles before committing.
8 min
3
Uphill / downhill speed calibration
If the practice green has slope: hit 5 uphill and 5 downhill putts from the same distance. Spend extra time here. On a demanding course, speed calibration is the single highest-leverage thing you'll do before the round.
5 min
4
Pressure finish
Make 8 out of 10 from 4–6 feet before leaving. If you miss two in a row, reset the count. The goal is leaving the green with confidence, not a number. Greens may have more wear around the cup at high-traffic courses — your last putts will tell you what the actual surface is doing.
