Putting Drill: Simple and Easy, but Effective

There's a number of different thoughts on putting practice. The main thing is practice, practice, practice your putting. Here's one drill I found. Use it if you like it.

"Here's the typical scenario for most putting practice and pre-round warm-ups: take a stack of discs, pick a spot, throw them all, gather them up, pick a new spot, lather, rinse, repeat. There are a couple inherent problems with that. One being that more often than not, the stack of discs are not all alike, sometimes not even all putters. Hard to work on consistency in one's putting when the disc shapes themselves are inconsistent from one to the next. Another problem is the repeating motion as one works through a stack. Never is putting on the course a flurry of putts from exactly the same spot. It's one disc at a time from one location at a time. The third and fourth and fifth putts in this method really do nothing for the player at all.
So what's the best way to warm up before a round or to practice in the back yard? Well, there's probably no best way but there are certainly better ways than the one described above. Here is but one example of a simple yet effective way to increase one's accuracy and confidence around the basket."

Found this on the net and the complete Putting Drill can be found at Greenhorn Disc Golf There are some other good articles on there too - enjoy.
