Gate Drill
Putt 10 balls through a gate made of two tees to groove a consistent stroke path.
Putting Intermediate ~6 min 4 difficulty levelsDifficulty levels
Setup & execution
Place two tees as a gate directly in front of the hole with 0.5 cm of clearance on either side of your putter. Add a ball gate — a second, tighter pair of tees just in front of the ball. Stand 1.5 to 2 metres back and hit all 10 balls from the same fixed position. The ball gate prevents any last-moment manipulation of the putter path. Both stroke path and face angle at impact must be correct, or the ball clips a tee.
Goal
Pass 8 out of 10 balls cleanly through both gates without touching any tee. In Points mode, accumulate points through clean passes and avoid gate-contact penalties.
Pick a specific dimple on the ball as your target — a precise focus point naturally quiets unnecessary wrist movement.
Scoring options
Pick how you are rewarded. Each option records different outcomes and feeds different insights.
Classic
Through the gate or not. Clipping it costs you nothing.
Points
Holing out pays most; short or clipping the gate costs you.
