3 Speed
Teach the player to read the proper break with the proper speed.  By Butch Liebler Submitted by:  Butch Liebler

Goal:  Teach the player to read the proper break with the proper speed

Activity:  Set up to a significantly breaking putt of 4-10 feet.  Hit a putt that dies in the hole.  Sink a putt that, if missed, would go by the cup 1 foot, and hit a putt that would go by the hole 2 feet.

Completion:  When you sink 3 in a row, all different speeds, then change to a new putt.  Play 18 "holes".  If you make all three, give yourself a "birdie".  If you make 2 putts, give yourself a "par".  If you make just one, it is a "bogie".

Variation:  To use this game as a drill, make 3 in a row from the same spot at the same speed.  Change the speed, and make 3 in a row.  Etc. 

Commentary:  This drill teaches the importance of proper speed when reading a putt.  It also shows the player how to "take the break out of the putt".  This is a great opportunity to use the Green Reading Level, and learn the Fall Line and the severity of the slope.
