Preshot Routine ...
Practice Green
Area maintained like an actual 'green', but is not part of the golf course. Golfers use the practice green to warm up before playing.
Pre-Shot Routine ...
On the practice green, place a couple of balls about four or five feet away from the hole for fairly straight putts.
3. When on the practice green putt to slightly uphill holes - a practice putting green is usually faster than the greens on the course because of all the walking on it.
Drop a coin on the practice green, then place a ball about 10 feet from the coin. Now, survey the terrain from the ball to the coin. Make note if it's an uphill, downhill or level putt.
Find a hole on the practice green that has some slope to it. Place several balls around the hole, approximately two feet away.
When putting on the practice green, observe the play and rotation of the holes before entering the practice green.
Begin by taking your bag of balls first to the practice green-spend at least one half hour practicing shots from all different angles.
The idea is to go out to the practice green with a handful of new Titleist golf balls and start from about 6 feet from the hole.
This device allows you to fill up the bag with practice balls, carry them to the practice green and empty the balls out so you have several golf balls to practice with.
By sinking short putts on the practice green, they will get an immediate sense of success.
Once they start sinking two and three-foot putts on a regular basis, take the children out to five or six feet and have them play the following game.
The best place to watch good putters is in their natural habitat: on the practice green. Notice how they view the green from different angles to judge break and grain. Observe how they set up to putt the same way each time.
Next time you're at your club, try it on the practice green, it's a great way to develop feel. Also, for most handicap golfers, judging distance on longer putts is a problem and looking at the hole helps considerably.
Often there is a practice range, usually with practice greens, bunkers, and a driving area (where long shots can be practiced). There may even be a practice course (which is often easier to play or shorter than other golf courses).
Spend a little extra time on the practice green working on putting, it will give you the confidence you need to become a better putter.

'Release' term not what it means ...
Do yourself a big favor and spend an hour or two around the practice green.
Find a putt on the practice green that is straight. Snap a chalk line down from about 5 or 6 feet to the middle of the cup. Make sure that the entire length of the line on your putter is exactly on the chalk line. Start making putts.
