For Christmas, my little sister bought me a putting mat. It has a very simple set up with markers from 2 feet all the way to 7 feet and a hole at the end. I will track my putting everyday for seven straight days. From each mark on the mat I will take 25 putts. Hopefully I will see an improvement over the week. After watching the Good Good Labs video on “How to Create the Perfect Putting Stroke” I went to work.
I didn’t notice as big of an improvement as I had expected. On the first day I made every single put (50 shots) from 2 ft and 3 ft and so there was no room for improvement. There wasn’t significant improvement from 4ft to 6ft but I did however notice slight improvement from 7 feet. Below is a graph and chart showing my growth.
I was happy with my overall improvement and I’m excited to see how this experiment has translated to my putting on an actual green. Hopefully I can chip the ball within 7 ft or I may not know what to do.
