Winter Putting Indoors - what's a good number

I like to putt 8 foot putts all winter while watching TV. What percent of these putts do you think a top notch (pro) putter would make??

Greg, Annika, and me

Hi,

Thanks for the question.

Greg Norman claims he once made 150 six-footers in a row. Annika Sorenstam says she is 99% on six-footers in practice. I putt eight-footers a lot indoors and really don't monitor how many I make, but I recall making over twenty minutes worth in a row, so that over 150 and perhaps as many as 200 in a row. In general, most pros aren't that good.

I would encourage you to pay attention to how your body is working and oriented during these sessions. Are your shoulders square to the line? Are your hands hanging in a relaxed fashion? What is your stance? What spot out from your front foot does the ball cross when it leaves your setup? Where are your eyes positioned? Noticing these things is the backbone of consistency, and consistency speeds skill advancement and noursihes accuracy in performance.

Cheers!

San Diego student goes for 275 in a row at 6 feet

May 4 2002, 5:07 PM 

Recently, a college student in San Diego at a golf expo sank 275 six-footers in a row. I wonder what snapped him out of a ZONE that deep. Here's the full story from the San Diego Union Tribune:
