  • 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)
    • 8’ / 2.43m (Noted as "D" on the chart)
    • 10’ / 3.04m (Noted as "E" 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
