There's no shortage of golf drills online. The hard part is picking the few that target your weakness and proving they actually lower your scores. Here are high-transfer drills by area — and how to know they're working.
Place two tees just wider than the ball about a foot in front of you on a flat 6-footer. Roll putts through the gate. It trains a square face at impact — the biggest factor in short putts. Make 10 in a row before you move on.
Putt to no specific hole — just to distances of 20, 30, and 40 feet, trying to finish each within a club-length. Three-putts are a distance problem far more than a line problem.
Pick a precise landing spot (a leaf, a coin) and try to one-hop the ball onto it. Chipping is a landing-spot skill, not a hole skill — control the first bounce and the rest takes care of itself.
Hit your wedge with three backswing lengths — "7:30, 9:00, 10:30" on a clock face — and log the carry of each. Knowing three reliable wedge numbers removes the most common scoring leak: the in-between yardage.
Set an alignment stick or two tees a few feet ahead and start every ball through the gate. Where the ball starts is mostly face angle — train it directly instead of guessing.
Hit shots starting from a small step into the lead foot to feel proper sequencing and a smoother tempo. Great for golfers who get quick and out of sync under pressure.
The best drill is the one aimed at your biggest leak — and proven to move it. Everything else is entertainment.
Pick drills for your weakest scoring skill, run them as random, course-like practice, and then measure the carry-over. P2S prescribes drills for your weakest metric, rates each session, and tracks whether the skill actually improved in your next rounds — so you keep the drills that work and drop the ones that don't.
Get drills matched to your game — start free →Short-game drills give the most return: a putting gate, a one-hop landing-spot chip, and a clock-system wedge drill. For full swing, a start-line gate and a tempo step-change drill transfer best. Always pick for your weakest scoring skill.
One or two with full attention beats six done casually. One intention per session, routine on every rep, random rather than block.
Track it: snapshot your rating for the skill, do the drill for a few sessions, then check your next rounds. That carry-over is your Transfer Rate.
