Good putters start the ball on their intended line.  The first six inches is critical to start your putt traveling to where you want it to go.  In practice place two tees about two inches apart on a flat part of the green.  The tees should be about three feet from a hole.  Place your ball about six inches behind the tees and stroke putts so that the ball rolls through the opening and into the hole.  Use this “field goal” drill over and over in warm ups, and you will gain confidence in your ability to roll the ball along your intended line and make more putts drop.
