Stop missing short putts
There's nothing more frustrating than playing a hole well only to miss a simple two-footer on the green.
These testing little putts are often missed due to anxiety. The golfer looks up too soon after striking the putt to see if it drops in the hole.
The secret to holing out from close range is to keep your eyes down fixed on the ground until you hear the putt drop.

Drill - A good drill for this is to put a coin 2 foot away from the target and then place the golf ball on top of this, and then make your stroke whilst looking at the coin so that you are not tempted to lift your head up.
