QUIET EYE
2
This activity is designed to quiet the mind
and allow a golfer to focus on the task at hand.
It’s a technique used by people like surgeons
and golfers who have to focus on very specific
body movements. All you need is a putter and
a single golf ball, which can help increase your
overall movement control.
1. Draw a dot on a golf ball with a permanent
marker.
2. Place the ball on the ground with the dot
pointing up in the air.
3. Set up to the ball in your putting stance and
focus your attention on the dot on the ball.
4. Once you’ve focused on the dot for a second
or two, make your putting stroke while
maintaining your focus on the dot.

HIT THE QUADRANTS
This drill is used to teach golfers to
control where they hit the ball on the
clubface and improve their ability to hit
the sweet spot. And, depending on how
old your spikes are, you might already
have everything you need.
1. Take a can of foot powder spray, and use it to coat your
driver’s clubface.
2. Draw a vertical and horizontal line across the clubface to
create four equal quadrants.
3. While hitting drives, try to hit a specific quadrant of the
clubface. The result of each shot does not matter—you’re
merely trying to hit the correct quadrant.
4. Check the clubface. Each strike will show up in the powder,
showing you exactly where you hit the ball.
