How can junior golfers practice putting under pressure?
Use consequence-based drills: 25-in-a-row from 3 feet (restart on miss), 10/10 from 5 feet before leaving the green, circle drills, lag putting games, and full routine reps with one ball. These simulate tournament stress.
Why do golfers putt worse in tournaments than in practice?
Most practice putting has no consequences. Tournament putting has real pressure. Training with drills that include restart penalties and completion requirements builds the skill of performing under stress.
