Pros trust this fun and addictive putting drill—it really helped my putting

Ideally, you'd spend a good amount of time in the gym to not only keep in shape and prevent injuries but also to train to be able to physically hit the toughest shots. You've got to be strong enough to advance the ball out of deep rough. You've got to be stable enough to hit a 40-yard greenside bunker shot. You've got to be flexible enough to flush a 4-iron off tightly mown grass.

No time for the gym? Then use these 4 'cheats' to hit some of the hardest shots in golf

For most golfers, putting from just off the green is a better option than chipping the ball because your margin for error is much greater with a flat stick. While you might chunk or blade your worst chip, a bad putt from off the green will still get you somewhere around the hole.
