Drill Instructions

Grab 5-10 golf balls and your choice of training aid
Find a straight, 3-10 foot putt
Place a towel down under your feet to protect the putting green from damage
For 10-20 minutes, hit putts with your training aid focusing on what "square" feels like
Now go hit a few breaking putts and watch them drop!
