- Identify two holes that can be used for this drill
- Position five ball marks/tees around each of the two holes at the following distances:
- 2’ / 60cm (Noted as "A" on the chart)
- 4’ / 1.21m (Noted as "B" on the chart)
- 6’ / 1.82m (Noted as "C" on the chart)
- 7’ / 2.13m (Noted as "D" on the chart)

- Ensure that one hole (Station #1) is set up in a clockwise spiral, and the other hole (Station #2) is set up in a counterclockwise spiral)
- These 5 ball marks/tees are the starting points from which you will putt
Goal
- Starting from “Station #1", sink all five putts in a row (in order from A-E)
- If you miss a putt, restart from point “A” at “Station #2” (see chart for reference)
- Whenever you miss a putt, switch to a different station and start from point “A”
- Keep track of the number of missed putts until you manage to make all five putts in a row
