Try This Tip & You Won't Miss A Putt! 🤯

PGA professional Ian Poulter, known as 'The Postman' for his clutch putting, demonstrates the Gate Drill to improve start-line accuracy. This tutorial shows how setting up a narrow channel with two tees forces golfers to square the putter face at impact for consistent results.

• Identify your intended start line on a straight putt.
• Place two tees approximately 6-10 inches in front of the ball, just wide enough for the ball to pass through.
• Focus entirely on rolling the ball through the 'gate' rather than the hole itself.
• Hitting the inside tee indicates a closed face (pull), while the outside tee indicates an open face (push).
