I call this the 3-6-9 drill. It is VERY difficult and will test (and improve) your putting stroke, consistency, and how well you putt under pressure. I have completed this drill only a hand full of times in my life, and used to do it almost every day when I played college golf.
Obviously, the goal is to complete this drill, but if you try it for 20 minutes each time you practice, your putting will improve, guaranteed!
Pick a fairly straight putt and get three tees out of your bag. Put the tees in a straight line, one at 3 feet, one at 6 feet, and the last at 9 feet. You will need three golf balls for this drill.
Start at the 3 foot tee. The goal is to make 9 putts in a row from three feet, then you can advance back to the 6 foot tee. Make 6 in a row from that tee in order to advance to the 9 foot tee. Make three putts in a row from the 9 foot tee and you have completed the drill. The catch is that if you ever miss a putt, you have to go back to the 3 foot tee and start over. All in all you will have to make only 18 putts in a row, all inside 10 feet. But trust me, you nerves will be tested when you are standing over the final 9 footer needing to make it to finally complete the drill.
Good Luck!
