Skill development is the heart of our program. We are wanting to develop new players by the time we get to post-season play in March. As the old saying goes, "Do you want two new plays in March or two new players?" Obviously, we want new players. Everything we do in our teaching is a progression.
Today, in our first workout with the posts, our emphasis was Technique and Being Comfortable With The Ball. Below is our workout for today. We end the workout with Tiger and Grooving our shot.
"Tiger" is named after Tiger Woods. Tiger ends his putting practice by making 100 nine foot putts. In our "Tiger" session, we will pick a skill for them to end the workout with and give the requirements. It's another effort to develop confidence and technique. We did our entire workout today with the reduced rim, they hate it at first, but we believe it is a great aid in our focus and concentration.
