The One Big Idea 🌺

Ball First, Ground Second

When you swing an iron, the club should touch the ball first — then brush the ground just after. If the club hits the ground before the ball, you'll hear a thud and the ball will barely move. That's the most common beginner mistake. Keep reminding yourself: ball first, ground second.

The ground comes second. Every time.

Mom's Bag 🌺

Used Set · 9 Clubs · Righty

🌺 3-Wood — Longest fairway club. Trickiest for beginners.

⭐ 3-Hybrid — The most forgiving long club. Start here.

⛳ 5-Iron — Medium-long shots

⛳ 6-Iron — Medium shots

⛳ 8-Iron — A bit shorter, easier to hit

⭐ 9-Iron — Your starting club. Shortest, easiest to hit cleanly.

💨 Pitching Wedge — Short, high shots

🎯 Putter — On the green

Higher number = shorter distance, but easier to hit cleanly. Start with the 9-iron.

Goals 🌺

🎯 Make clean contact with the ball
🌺 Swing smooth — trust the club, don't force it
😊 Keep it fun — every solid hit is a win
📈 Build the habit before worrying about distance

The Mantra: Contact first, always. Everything else comes with time.

Session Tips 🌱

⏱ 20–30 minutes is plenty — stop before it stops being fun

🌺 Always start with the 9-iron — warm into the swing

🎵 One swing thought per session — never change mid-session

🤲 Light grip pressure — firm but not crushing, like holding toothpaste

Goal

Phase 0

Warmup — No ball yet

Pitching Wedge3 minAlways first

Step 1 Pump Swings · 1 min · 10 swings · no ball

Feel the club swinging like a pendulum. No thoughts. Just rhythm.

Step 2 Feet Together · 1 min · 5 shots · feet touching

Forces balance automatically. If you fall over, you swung too hard.

Step 3 Half Swings · 1 min · 5 shots · halfway back & through

Club goes to 9 o'clock back, 3 o'clock through. Clean contact before full speed.

Phase 1

Short Irons — Contact Quality

GW (50°)PW (45°)9-iron8-iron~25 balls

Ball position: center of stance
Focus: flush contact, divot right of ball, consistent finish. Don't chase distance.

💬 Feel: Ball first, then ground

Ball Position & Tips

Ball Position — Top View (Lefty)

Hands slightly ahead of the ball — shaft leans toward target at address
Weight 50/50 at setup, shifts fully to lead side at impact
These clubs build your core contact habit — quality over distance
Watch your divot: it should appear to the RIGHT of where the ball was

Gap Wedge (50°): Your new scoring club. Same swing as the PW — ball center of stance, hands forward, trust the loft. Focus on consistent distance control at 70–90 yards. Don't try to max it out — find your reliable carry number.

⚠ Common Mistake

Trying to scoop the ball airborne. Trust the loft — hit down and through, not up. The club's loft does the lifting.

Phase 2

Mid Irons + Hybrid

7-iron6-iron4-Hybrid~25 balls

Ball position: slightly right (toward trail foot) as clubs get longer
Same hip-fire sequence — hips before arms every time.

💬 Feel: Wider arc, same sequence

Ball Position & Tips

Ball Position — Top View (Lefty)

Ball moves 1–2 ball-widths toward trail foot compared to short irons
Widen stance slightly as clubs get longer — supports the bigger arc
4-Hybrid plays like a long iron: ball slightly trail of center, sweep through
Same hip-fire sequence as Phase 1 — the swing thought never changes

⚠ Common Mistake

Swinging harder with longer clubs. Swing wider and smoother — the extra shaft length adds distance automatically.

Phase 3

Driver

Driver 10.5°Tee: 2¾" — 3 marks~15 balls

Ball position: off right instep (lead foot)
Slight upswing at impact. Same hip/chest rotation.
Swing smoother, not harder.

💬 Feel: Sweeping up through the ball

Ball Position & Tee Setup

Ball Position — Top View (Lefty)

Tee Setup — 2¾" with 3 Marks

Driver is the ONLY club you hit on the upswing — ball forward enables this
Widen stance to shoulder-width or beyond for stability
Tilt spine slightly away from target — weight a touch trail at address
Smoother tempo = straighter, longer drives. Harder = more curve, less control

⚠ Common Mistake

Ball too far back in the stance — forces a downward hit on the driver, killing distance. Ball off lead heel is the rule.

🏁 Phase 4 — Short Game Finish

Chipping

Bump & Run — 5 chips 🎯

7-Iron, PW, or GW (50°)10–25 yardsPick a landing spot

Drop 5 balls just off the edge of the green. Pick a landing spot 1–2 feet onto the green and aim for that — not the hole. Let the ball run the rest. The bump-and-run is your most consistent scoring shot as a lefty.

💬 Weight forward, hands ahead, brush the grass. It's a long putting stroke with a lofted club.

🎯 Gap Wedge (50°): Excellent for bump and run from 15–25 yards — more loft than the PW, lands softer with less run. Great option when you need to carry a small amount of rough before the green.

Technique

Setup: Ball back in stance (toward trail foot). Weight 70% on lead foot. Hands pressed forward — shaft leans toward target. This delofts the club and keeps trajectory low.

Stroke: Pendulum motion — no wrist flip. Think of it as a long putt. The club brushes the turf, doesn't dig. Follow through matches your backswing length.

⚠ Watch For

Scooping — trying to lift the ball. Trust the loft. Hit down and through. The divot should be small and in front of where the ball was.

Putting

3-6-9 Putting Challenge 📏

Putter10 puttsPractice green

Place 3 balls at 3ft, 3 at 6ft, 3 at 9ft, and 1 at your max comfortable distance. Goal: make the 3-footers, 2-putt the rest. Count your score — 10 makeable putts.

💬 Eyes over the ball. Pendulum. Listen for the rattle — don't watch it.

Drills

Gate drill: Push two tees into the green slightly wider than your putter face, 6 inches in front of the ball. Roll the ball through the gate. Miss the tees = good path. Simple and brutal.

Distance control drill: Forget the hole. Putt 5 balls to the fringe trying to stop them within 1 foot of the edge. No hole, just speed. This is where 3-putts are won and lost.

Golden Rules

Always aim at a specific target — never hit to nowhere.

One swing thought per session. Never change mid-session.

Bad shot? Reset, breathe, commit to the next one.

Sand Wedge — chipping green only for now.

Warm Up

5 Practice Swings — No Ball 🌀

7-Iron5 minSlow motion

Pick up the 7-iron. Take 5 really big, super slow practice swings. Feel the club going back, then fire through. No ball yet — just groove the feeling.

💬 Think: "Turn back, then FIRE forward!"

More Detail

On swing 1–2: go so slow it feels silly. On swing 3–4: normal speed. On swing 5: try to hold your finish for 3 seconds without falling. If you can't balance, the swing was too fast or too hard.

Pro Tip: Close your eyes for one of the practice swings and just feel the rotation. Where does the club feel heaviest? That's the club head doing its job.

Phase 1

Contact Challenge 🎯

9-Iron or 7-Iron~10 balls

The Game: Hit 7 out of 10 in the air. Count every airborne shot out loud. Celebrate every one that flies! Focus on making contact — not how far it goes.

💬 Feel: Hit DOWN on it — the club does the lifting!

More Detail

Ball position: middle of your stance. Feet shoulder-width. Weight 50/50. Take a normal swing — don't try to scoop the ball up. The loft on the 9-iron does that automatically.

The Game Goal: If you hit 7+ in the air = you WIN Phase 1! Move to Phase 2. Under 7? No big deal — take 5 more tries. Every shot is practice.

⚠ Watch For

Trying to help the ball up by scooping. Hit through the ball into the ground. The divot (or brushed grass) should be in FRONT of where the ball was.

Phase 2

Distance Explorer 📏

7-IronFW Wood 23°~15 balls

The Game: Try different clubs and see which goes farthest. Hit 5 with 7-iron, 5 with the Fairway Wood, and 5 mixing it up. Remember your personal record!

💬 Feel: Longer club = wider, smoother swing. Same sequence!

More Detail

Ball position moves forward as clubs get longer — for the fairway wood, play it just inside your LEFT heel (lead heel for a right-hander). Same swing sequence — just a wider arc.

Track your distances: Where does your 7-iron land on average? What about the FW Wood? This is super useful info — remember it!

Phase 3

Rocket Launch 🚀 — Driver Only!

Driver 17°~5 ballsMax fun

Just rip it. Tee it up, swing as hard as you want, and watch it go. No swing thoughts — just pure fun. If it goes sideways, laugh and try again.

💬 Feel: Sweep it up off the tee. Smooth is fast!

Tee Setup

Ball position: off your LEFT (lead) heel — as far forward as it goes. Tee height: about half the ball above the club face. Wide stance. Weight slightly back.

Driver is the ONE club you hit on the upswing — ball position forward makes this happen automatically. Just trust the setup and swing!

🏁 Phase 4 — Putting Game

Putting

Ring of Fire 🔥

Putter5 ballsPractice green

Place 5 balls in a circle around the hole, all exactly 3 feet away. You have to make ALL 5 in a row. Miss one? Start over. This is the same drill tour pros use every day.

💬 Pick a spot on the back of the cup and aim for that. Don't aim at the middle — aim for a specific point.

How to Make Every 3-Footer

🎯 Eyes Over the Ball

Stand over the ball and drop another ball from your nose — it should land on your ball. If it lands in front, you're too far away. If behind, too close. Eyes directly over ball = consistent path.

🎯 Pendulum Only

Shoulders rock, wrists stay locked. Imagine your arms and putter are one rigid triangle. Backswing and follow-through are the same length. No flipping the wrists at impact.

Kid's Golden Rules 🌟

Count your GOOD shots — forget the bad ones immediately.

Water break whenever you want. Seriously.

Stop when it stops being fun. Quality over quantity.

⏱ Keep sessions to 20–30 minutes max — short and focused beats long and tired.

Warm Up

3 Magic Swings — No Ball 🪄

7-IronSuper slow2 min

Pick up the 7-iron and take 3 super slow practice swings like you're moving through honey. Feel the club go back, then swoop through. No ball yet — just feel it!

💬 "Reach back and SWOOOOOP!"

More Detail

Make it silly — go SO slow that it's funny. Let her laugh. On the 3rd swing ask her to hold the finish and balance on one foot if she can. Any giggles = winning.

What you're teaching: Muscle memory for the swing shape before adding the complication of a ball. At age 5 this is huge.

Phase 1

Make It Move! 🎯

7-Iron~8 ballsJust make contact

The only goal: hit the ball and make it go forward. ANY forward movement = success! Count every ball that moves and cheer out loud for each one.

💬 "Just hit it and watch where it goes!"

More Detail

For a 5-year-old lefty: Ball in the middle of her stance. Right hand on top of the grip (lead hand for lefty). Let her swing naturally — don't over-correct at this age.

If the ball isn't moving: Tee it up! A tee makes contact way easier and builds confidence fast. There's no shame in teeing up at the range when you're 5.

Dad focus: Watch for her head staying down through impact — that's the one thing worth gently reinforcing at this age. Everything else can wait.

Phase 2

Pick Your Club! 🌈

Her choice~5 ballsPure fun

Let her pick any club she wants and just hit. No rules in this phase. Driver off the deck? Sure. Putter at the range targets? Why not. Just swing and smile.

💬 "Which one do you want to try?"

More Detail

Autonomy is huge for 5-year-olds. Letting her choose the club gives her ownership of the experience. She'll remember the fun, not whether she used the "right" club.

End the session here — while she's still happy and energized. A 15-minute session that ends on a high beats a 45-minute session that ends in a meltdown every time.

🏁 Phase 3 — Putt Putt vs Dad! 🎯

Putting

Closest to the Hole Wins! 🏆

Putter5 balls eachAny distance

Both Dad and daughter each putt 5 balls. Whoever gets closest to the hole wins that round. Keep score if she wants to. Let her pick where you putt from each time. She has full control.

💬 "Eyes on the ball, roll it smooth — like sending it on a little trip to the hole!"

Dad Notes

Let her win sometimes. Not always — she'll know if it's fake — but occasionally miss on purpose just enough that she beats you legitimately. The feeling of beating Dad is massive motivation at age 5.

If she sinks one: Stop everything. Full celebration. Jump around. Make it a huge moment she wants to recreate every time.

Putting tip for lefties age 5: Just get her rolling the ball forward with the putter face. Don't correct grip or stance yet — contact and direction are enough for now.

Golden Rules for Age 5 🌟

🎉 Cheer for every swing — contact or not, she tried!

⏱ Stop at 15 minutes — always leave her wanting more

🍦 Promise a treat after — she earned it just by showing up

📵 Put your phone away — she notices, and it matters to her

🌈 If she's not feeling it today, that's totally fine — come back next time

Before You Hit 🌸

Warm-Up First

Take 2–3 minutes to gently loosen up before reaching for a club. A few slow shoulder rolls, gentle hip circles, and easy torso turns are all you need. There's no rush — the range will wait for you.

"A warm body swings a happy club."

Phase 1 · Feel the Swing (6 balls)

7-Wood or Hybrid

Your most forgiving clubs. Start here every single time. No full swings yet — just easy half-swings to reconnect with the motion. Focus on the rhythm of the club moving back and through. If it feels good after 3, take a fuller swing on the last 3.

Half swing first Smooth tempo No power needed

Feel the clubhead swinging — let gravity do the work on the way down.

Phase 2 · Easy Irons (8 balls)

7-Iron or 8-Iron

Hit 4 balls with the 7-iron, then 4 with the 8-iron. These hollow-body irons are very forgiving — even off-center hits will fly nicely. One swing thought only: finish with your belt buckle facing the target.

Light grip Smooth finish Watch it fly 🌸

Swing to a full finish. If you finish tall, the swing was good.

Phase 3 · Short Game Finish (6 balls)

Pitching Wedge

End every session with short, gentle chip shots. Pick a spot about 20–30 yards away. Small, controlled swings — just enough to get the ball there softly. This is the most relaxing part of the session and builds great feel.

Tiny swing Land softly Breathe easy

"Small swing, big confidence." End on a great feeling.

Optional · Driver Day 🚀

When You're Feeling Good

On days when you feel loose and energized, grab the driver and have some fun. No pressure — this is purely for enjoyment. The driver is the longest club in the bag, so it rewards a smooth, easy swing more than anything else.

3–5 balls only Same easy tempo Feel, don't force

🏌️ Tee it up high — half the ball above the clubface

🌿 Stand tall, grip light — the driver does the work with a smooth swing

🎵 Slow backswing — take it back nice and wide, no rush at all

💜 Sweep, don't hit — think of brushing the tee away, not smashing the ball

🌸 Hold that finish — tall and balanced, watch it fly

Skip this section any day you're not feeling it — the 7-Wood is always just as satisfying. 💜

Warm Up First

A few minutes before you swing a real club, loosen up with arm circles, gentle torso twists, hip circles, and ten slow practice swings without a ball. Muscles need a minute to wake up — skipping this is how soreness happens.

Arm circles · 10 each way Torso twists · 10 turns Hip circles · 10 each way 10 slow practice swings

Phase 1 · The 9-Iron (first 15 balls)

Start Here Every Time

The 9-iron is the shortest, easiest club to hit cleanly. Start every single session with it. No full swings yet — half-swings to find the rhythm, then grow into fuller swings. One thought only: ball first, ground second.

Half swing first Smooth tempo Hit the ball, not the ground

If you hear a clean click — that's the sound. Chase that feeling.

Phase 2 · Work up the Irons (10 balls)

8-iron → 6 → 5

Once the 9-iron is feeling good, step up slowly: a few 8-iron swings, then the 6, then the 5. The longer the club, the harder it is — that's normal. If anything stops feeling right, go back to the 9-iron and reset.

Same smooth tempo Don't swing harder Reset if it's off

Bigger club doesn't mean bigger swing. Let the club do the work.

Phase 3 · 3-Hybrid (5–10 balls)

Most Forgiving Long Club

The 3-hybrid looks longer but swings just like an iron. Ball slightly forward of center. Same smooth swing. It's much more forgiving than the 3-wood, so practice this one first — this is your long club.

Ball slightly forward Swing it like an iron Don't scoop

Phase 4 · 3-Wood (optional, 5 balls)

The Tricky One

The 3-wood is one of the hardest clubs for beginners — low expectations are totally fine. Ball forward (just inside the front heel). Sweep through, don't chop down. Don't try to lift it — the angled face does that for you.

Ball forward Sweep, don't chop Trust the loft

If it's not clicking, put it away and go back to the 3-hybrid. No shame.

Finish · Pitching Wedge (last 5 balls)

End on a Good Feel

End every session with short, gentle pitching-wedge shots — 20–30 yards, small controlled swings, soft landings. This is the most relaxing part of the session and it builds real feel. Walk off feeling good.

When Something Goes Wrong

💥 Thud, no distance: Ground came before the ball. Reset — ball first.

🪱 Ball rolled along the ground: You lifted your head early. Eyes stay down until after contact.

➡️ Ball went way right: Club face was open. Check grip — thumbs straight down the handle.

💨 Swung and missed: Totally normal. Slow down, eyes on the ball, try again.

🏌️ Wild, no control: Swung too hard. Take 20% off and stay smooth.

What to Ignore for Now 🌺

📏 Don't worry about distance — focus only on making contact.

🧠 Don't try to fix more than one thing per session.

🤷 A bad shot is not a big deal — every golfer hits them, even the pros.

🎯 Today's only goal: make contact. Everything else comes with time.

Club across shoulders behind neck. Rotate left and right slowly — this IS your swing motion.

↳ Warms up the exact rotation you'll use all session

Hip Circles — 30 sec each

Hands on hips, draw big slow circles each direction. Courses have uneven lies — you need mobile hips.

↳ Loose hips = better rotation through the ball

Shoulder Cross-Body — 20 sec each

Pull one arm across your chest and hold. Swap sides. Shoulders take heavy load in backswing and follow-through.

↳ Prevents shoulder tightness mid-round

Wrist Flexion & Extension — 20 sec each

Extend one arm, gently pull fingers back then forward. Both wrists. Forearms fatigue faster than you expect.

↳ Protects wrists and forearms through impact

Hamstring Hinge — 30 sec

Feet shoulder-width, soft knees, hinge forward from hips with flat back until you feel the pull. This IS your golf posture.

↳ Warming up your address position before you hit

Slow Practice Swings — 1 min ⭐

10 slow-motion swings with PW. No ball. Feel the rotation, weight shift, hold the finish. Groove it before speed.

↳ Most important 60 seconds of your session

Remember

Everything is gentle and movement-based. No cold static yanking.

Always finish with slow practice swings before hitting ball one.

If something hurts — stop. Golf should never cause sharp pain.

During recovery: skip swings, do steps 1–5 gently as physio allows.

↳ The same rotation you use every single swing

The Hula Hoop 🌈 — 10 circles each way

Hands on hips. Draw the biggest circles you can with your hips, 10 each direction. Exaggerate it. The sillier it looks the better it works.

↳ Mobile hips = more power and rotation

The Lunge Hero 🦸 — 20 seconds each side

Step your right foot forward into a lunge. Keep your back straight and sink your left knee toward the ground. Hold 20 seconds, then swap legs. This opens up your hips — huge for a powerful turn.

↳ Sitting at school all day tightens your hips — this undoes it

Robot Wrists 🤖 — 10 each wrist

Stick one arm straight out. Slowly flex your wrist UP, then DOWN, 10 times. Swap wrists. Think: robot arm moving on command.

↳ Wrists do a lot of work through impact — protect them

Superhero Landing 🦸 — Hold 10 seconds

Feet shoulder-width, bend forward from your HIPS (not your back) with a flat back — like you just landed and are about to straighten up. Hold it for 10 seconds. That's your golf posture!

↳ Loose hips = more power and spin!

Superhero Landing 🦸‍♀️ — Hold 5 seconds

↳ This is literally how you stand to hit the ball

Slow-Mo Swing 🐌 — 3 practice swings ⭐

Pick up the 7-iron. Take 3 super duper slow practice swings — reach back as far as you can, then swooooop all the way through. Hold the finish like a statue!

↳ The most important part of the whole warm-up!

Before You Begin

All of these movements are gentle and optional. Do only what feels comfortable, and take a breath or short break between exercises whenever you need to. There is no wrong way to warm up — any movement is a win.

Shoulder & Neck

🌀 Slow Shoulder Rolls

Roll both shoulders forward 5 times, then backward 5 times. Slow and smooth. Feel the tension gently melt away.

Let gravity help — no need to force the movement.

↔️ Gentle Neck Turns

Slowly turn your head left, then right. Hold each side for 3 slow breaths. Just a gentle rotation — no strain needed.

Torso & Spine

🌿 Standing Torso Twist

Cross your arms over your chest. Gently rotate your upper body to the right, then to the left. Move only as far as feels comfortable — pause and breathe whenever you need to. This is the core of your golf swing motion.

This is your golf swing! Every gentle twist makes it feel more natural on the course.

🏌️ Slow Practice Swings

Without a ball, make 5 very slow, smooth practice swings with your 7-Wood or a mid-iron. Focus on how the swing feels — not how far the ball would go. This wakes up the right muscles gently.

Hands & Wrists

🤲 Gentle Wrist Circles

Hold your arms in front of you and make slow circles with your wrists — 5 times each direction. Keeps the wrists loose and your grip relaxed.

🤝 Finger Flex & Release

Open your hands wide, then gently close them. Repeat 5 times. A simple way to warm up your grip before holding a club.

Hips & Balance

🔄 Gentle Hip Circles

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Make slow, gentle circles with your hips — 5 each direction. Rest between sets if needed. This helps free up the lower body for a smooth turn.

Hold a club or chair for balance if you'd like — take your time with every movement.

Why Warm Up?

Muscles need a few minutes to wake up before you start swinging. Skipping this is how soreness happens. None of these are hard — just a couple of minutes of gentle movement and you're ready.

Arms & Shoulders

🌀 Arm Circles

Stretch both arms out. Make slow, relaxed circles — 10 forward, then 10 backward. This loosens the shoulders for the turn.

Slow and smooth — no need to force it.

Torso & Core

🌺 Torso Twists

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Cross your arms over your chest and gently rotate your upper body left, then right. Do 10 slow turns. This is your golf swing — every twist gets you ready for contact.

The turn is the swing. The more comfortable it feels here, the more natural the swing feels on the range.

Hips & Lower Body

🔄 Hip Circles

Hands on hips. Make slow, gentle circles — 10 each direction. This frees up the lower body so you can turn all the way through the swing.

Practice Swings

The Most Important Part

Pick up your 9-iron. Take 10 slow practice swings with no ball — just feel the motion. Brush the grass. Finish tall, hold it for a second. This is the single best way to prepare for the first real ball of the session.

10 slow swings No ball Brush the grass Finish tall

If the first real swing of the day feels rough, take five more of these. No rush.

Chipping 🏌️

Bump & Run Setup

The Most Reliable Chip in the Bag

Ball back in stance 70% weight lead Hands forward

Ball positioned toward your trail foot. Weight 70% on lead (right) foot at setup and through impact. Shaft leans toward target — hands ahead of the ball. This delofts the club and keeps the trajectory low and rolling.

💬 Pendulum stroke — no wrist flip. Think long putt with a lofted club. Follow-through matches backswing length.

Club Selection Guide

🏒 7-Iron — Lots of run. Best from 5+ yards off the fringe on flat ground

⛳ PW (45°) — Most versatile. Go-to chip for most situations

🎯 GW (50°) — Softer landing, less run. Best from 15–25 yards or over light rough

💨 SW (54°) — Use when you need to carry a hazard or stop the ball fast

💬 More run needed → less loft. More carry needed → more loft. Simple.

Landing Spot Drill

Tee Target — Build Consistency

Place a tee 1.5 feet onto the green from the fringe edge. Forget the hole completely. Drop 10 balls and chip, trying to land each one on the tee. 6 out of 10 = consistent chipper. Once you hit 6/10, your chipping is predictable enough to score with.

💬 Pick a spot. Hit to the spot. Let the ball do the rest. Every chip should have a landing zone, not a hole target.

Putting 🎯

Setup Fundamentals

👁️ Eyes over ball — lean forward until eyes are directly above the ball

🤲 Light grip — 4 out of 10 — tension kills feel. Barely there.

⚖️ Pendulum stroke — shoulders rock, wrists stay still

↔️ Follow-through = backswing length — even tempo both ways

👂 Listen for the rattle — don't watch the ball, look up after you hear it

Gate Drill

Path & Face Training

Push 2 tees into the green 6 inches in front of the ball, slightly wider than your putter face. Roll the ball through the gate without touching either tee. Miss the tees = good path and face. Simple, brutal, effective.

💬 Do 10–15 reps from 4–5 feet. This is the single best putting drill you can do.

3-6-9 Challenge

Make the Shorts, Lag the Long

Place 3 balls at 3ft, 3 at 6ft, and 3 at 9ft from the hole. Goal: make all three 3-footers, 2-putt the 6-footers, and lag the 9-footers inside 2 feet. Count total putts out of 9. Target: 12 putts or fewer.

💬 3-footers are non-negotiable. Make them before you leave the putting green.

Distance Ladder

Speed Control — No Hole Needed

Putt 5 balls from 10 feet trying to stop within 1 foot of the fringe. Then 5 from 20 feet. Then 5 from 30 feet. No hole — pure speed control. This is where 3-putts are eliminated. The goal is never more than one foot of rollout past your target.

💬 Speed kills in putting. If every lag finishes within a foot, you'll never 3-putt.

Pre-Round Routine ⏱ 10 min

Do this every single time before a round. Not full swings — short game only. This dials in your touch for this specific green on this specific day.

🏌️ 5 putts to the fringe — no hole. Feel the speed of this green today, not your last round.

🎯 5 × 3-footers — build confidence, not mechanics. Make them all before moving on.

⛳ 3 chips from just off the green — feel the bump and run with GW, PW, and 7-iron once each.

✅ Always end on a make — walk to the first tee with the feeling of the ball going in the hole.

💬 This routine takes 10 minutes and can save you 3–5 strokes. Most amateurs skip it. Don't be most amateurs.

Putting Drills

Gate Drill 🚪

2 tees3–6 ft putts5 min

Push two tees into the green 6 inches in front of your ball, slightly wider than your putter face. Every putt must roll cleanly between them. If you clip a tee, your face was open or closed at impact.

Start at 3 feet and move back only when you make 5 in a row through the gate.

3-6-9 Challenge 📏

9 balls3 distancesPar = 15

3 balls at 3ft (should make all 3), 3 balls at 6ft (should make 1-2), 3 balls at 9ft (lag to tap-in). Count total putts. Par is 15 — try to beat it. Tour average from 6ft is about 50%.

At 9ft+: forget the hole. Focus only on speed. Get it within a 3-foot circle.

Distance Ladder 🎯

5 ballsNo holePure feel

Putt to the fringe (no hole). Try to stop each ball within 1 foot of the fringe — not past it, not short. 5 putts from 10ft, then 20ft, then 30ft. This trains the distance control that eliminates 3-putts.

Speed kills. 90% of 3-putts are caused by poor distance, not poor direction.

Chipping — Bump & Run

Setup & Technique

Ball back in stance — toward trail (right) foot

Weight 70% on lead (left) foot — stays there throughout

Hands pressed forward — shaft leans toward target

Stroke is a long putting motion — no wrist flip

Pick a landing spot 1–2ft onto the green, aim THERE not the hole

Club Selection Guide

🏌️ 7-Iron — lots of run, little air. Best when 5+ yards from fringe

🏌️ PW — balanced air/run. Most versatile chip club

🏌️ SW — more air, less run. Use when you need to carry a hazard

Rule of thumb: use the least loft that gets the ball rolling on the green as quickly as possible.

Landing Spot Drill

10 chips5 yards off greenPW or 7-iron

Place a tee or club cover 1.5ft onto the green as your landing spot. Forget the hole completely — just try to land 10 chips on that spot. Once you can hit it 6/10 times, your chipping becomes very predictable.

Pre-Round Routine (10 min)

5 putts to the fringe — dial in speed on this green specifically

5 × 3-footers — build confidence, not mechanics

Putting Games 🎮

Game 1

Ring of Fire 🔥

5 balls3 feetAll or nothing

Place 5 balls in a circle around the hole, all exactly 3 feet away. Make ALL 5 in a row. Miss one = start over from zero. Same drill the best players in the world do every single day.

💬 Pick a spot on the back edge of the cup. Putt to THAT spot — not "the hole."

Tips to Make More 3-Footers

🎯 Commit to Your Line

Before every putt, crouch behind the ball and pick the exact line. Then step up and trust it — no second-guessing. The worst putts happen when you change your mind mid-stroke.

🎯 Keep Your Head Still

Put a tee in the ground where your ball was. After you putt, see if you can still see the tee — that means your head stayed still. If you can't find it, your head moved. Still head = consistent strike.

💬 From 9ft+: focus on speed only. Get it close enough to tap in.

Game 3

Longest Putt Challenge 🚀

5 ballsAs far as possible

Find the longest putt on the green. Putt all 5 balls. Goal: get ALL 5 within a 3-foot circle of the hole. This is pure distance control — direction doesn't matter as much at long range.

💬 Imagine a 3-foot circle around the hole. Your job is to park it in the circle, not make it.

Gate Drill — Make Your Stroke Perfect

Push 2 tees into the green 6 inches in front of your ball, just wider than your putter. Roll every putt between them. If you clip a tee, your putter face wasn't square. 5 in a row through the gate = perfect stroke.

💬 Do this drill for 5 minutes before a round. It makes everything feel automatic.

The Games 🎮

Game 1

Closest to the Hole Wins! 🏆

Her putter5 balls eachHer choice of distance

She picks where you both putt from. Both putt 5 balls. Whoever is closest wins that round. She keeps score. She picks the next hole too. Total control = total engagement.

💬 "Roll it nice and smooth — send it on a trip to the hole!"

Dad Notes

Let her win enough that it's competitive. If she's crushing you, pretend to try harder. If she's frustrated, miss a few on purpose. The goal is she feels like a real golfer — because she is.

If she sinks one from distance: Completely lose your mind. Jump around. Tell her that's the best putt you've ever seen. She'll be talking about it for a week.

Game 2

The Color Target 🌈

5 ballsAny distancePick a color

Put a colorful tee or hair tie on the green as a target (not the hole). She picks the color. Try to hit it. If she rolls over the tee = WIN! Celebrate like crazy. Move the tee to a new spot each round.

💬 This builds aim without any technical explanation. Brains love colors.

Game 3

Tiny Putt Challenge 🐌

5 balls1–2 feetCan't miss

Put 5 balls very close to the hole — 1 to 2 feet away. Challenge: sink all 5. These are nearly unmissable at age 5 and the sound of the ball dropping in the cup is addictive. Once she hears that sound enough times, she's hooked.

💬 The rattle of the ball in the cup is the best sound in golf. Let her hear it a lot.

Golden Rules for Putting at 5 🌟

⏱ 10 minutes max — end before she wants to stop

🎉 Celebrate every putt that gets close — not just makes

🚫 No technique corrections during games — just play

👑 Let her be in charge — she picks the holes, the games, the order

🌈 If she starts doing something silly with the putter, join in — she's still learning the feel of it

Your Alignment Putter

Your Lynx putter has built-in alignment lines — use them! Line up the stripe on your putter with your intended target line. When the lines match, you're aimed perfectly. Trust the tool and make a smooth stroke.

"Line it up, breathe out, roll it smooth."

The Putting Stroke 💜

Set Up Comfortably

Stand relaxed, feet about shoulder-width apart
Ball just inside your left foot
Eyes directly over the ball — lean forward gently if needed

Light, Relaxed Grip

Hold the putter very gently — light grip pressure is essential
Tension in the hands ruins feel

Pendulum Stroke

Rock your shoulders like a pendulum — back and through, even pace
No wrist flick needed — let the shoulders do the work

Hold the Finish

After you stroke it, hold the putter still for a moment
Watch — and enjoy — the ball rolling toward the hole 🌸

Putting Drills 🎯

🎯 Gate Drill

Place two tees about putter-head width apart, 6 inches in front of your ball. Practice rolling putts through the "gate." This promotes a straight, smooth stroke every time.

📏 3-Foot Confidence Builder

Place 6 balls in a circle about 3 feet from the hole. Putt each one in. When you make all 6, move to 4 feet. This is the most enjoyable drill in golf — and builds real confidence.

3 feet is where the game is won. Master this distance and watch your scores drop.

👁️ Eyes Closed Putting

Set up a 4-foot putt, then close your eyes and stroke it. This forces you to feel the pendulum motion instead of thinking about it. You'll be amazed how often it goes in — and how natural the stroke starts to feel.

Reading the Green 🌿

👀 Walk behind the ball — crouch and look at the slope between ball and hole

⛰️ Uphill putts — aim at the hole, stroke a little firmer

⬇️ Downhill putts — aim at the hole, use a very gentle stroke

↩️ Breaking putts — aim above the hole and let gravity curve it in

💜 Trust your read — commit and make a smooth stroke

The One Big Idea

Putting is the simplest swing in golf — and the most important. Shoulders rock back and through like a pendulum. No wrists. Light grip, smooth tempo, and let the putter do the work.

"Line it up, breathe out, roll it smooth."

The Putting Stroke 🌺

Set Up Comfortably

Feet about shoulder-width · relaxed
Ball just inside your front foot
Eyes over the ball — lean forward gently from the hips

Light Grip

Very gentle — no squeeze
Tension in the hands ruins feel

Pendulum Stroke

Rock the shoulders back and through — even pace
No wrist flick · no jab · just the shoulders

Hold the Finish

Stay still after the stroke · watch the ball roll
This trains smooth tempo faster than anything else

Simple Drills 🌱

📏 3-Foot Drill

Put 5 balls about 3 feet from the hole. Putt each one in. When you make all 5, move back a foot. This is where real confidence comes from — 3 feet is the distance that matters most on the course.

🚪 Gate Drill

Stick two tees into the green about a putter-head apart, 6 inches in front of your ball. Try to roll putts through the "gate." If you clip a tee, your stroke isn't straight — keep at it until you're rolling through cleanly.

🌺 Commit to your read — smooth stroke beats perfect line

Play for bogeys. Eliminate doubles.
Bogey every hole = 89. That IS the sub-90 goal.
