What Is the Gate Drill?

The gate drill will help improve path on both short and long putts. It is simple to setup and will provide immediate feedback. This drill can be increased in difficulty by shortening the distance between the gate.

The gate drill is one of the best putting drills to practice. It is used by many professionals and high level amateurs to prevent path issues from creeping into their game. With immediate feedback, you know exactly if your path if off and to which direction. Spend 15 minutes each day for a week and you will see your putting path improve.

Who Should Do It?

Practice this drill if you:
