PutterbeadZ

Drive for the Show! Putt for the Dough! You hear this a lot in disc golf circles and it's true because as Tricia Lafferty, a contributor to Doglegdiscgolf.com states, "Putting is the part of the game where you actually score, and can drastically raise or lower your score. If you are a consistent and accurate putter, your scores can drop drastically...The only way to get better at putting is to practice it. A tweak in thumb placement, release point, grip, and technique can make a difference, but you will only know if you practice. Putting needs to become automatic, and over thinking creates mistakes." I realize this weakness in my play. Too often I blow a putt within the 30 meter circle around a basket and I will score a 4 or 5 where had I not blown the first putt attempt, I'd score a 3 or 4!

Tricia's post on a product called Putter BeadZ provides information on a product to help one practice at putting without having to mark off the meters or feet every time they go out to practice putting. Give it a read. Might be a tool you can find useful or you can concoct a similar product on your own to help make your putting practice less hassle free. Myself, I usually try something like a game of Around the World (remember that basketball challenge?) It gives me variety in distance and locations from within the 30 (or more) meter circle around the basket.
