Yep, starting from a foot or less from the cup is where to start practicing. I've said it time and time again, you need to start from the ground floor and that's doing Tap in practice, and lots of it. Most of you don't think you need to but it will help your game immeasureably. Just grab 4 or five balls and put them about 6 inches to a foot around the cup. Just start doing tap-ins for about 5 to 10 minutes. Do some tap-ins really close from 3 to 6 inches for 5 minutes, and some from 9 to 12 inches for another 5 minutes.
This way you're switching it up a bit but still focusing on doing tap-ins only. By doing tap-ins you're getting some practice in and you're able to control your putts more. It's harder than you think to control tap-in putts and short putts for that matter. Why do you think Tiger was having issues with his short putts of 2 and 3 feet?
The tap-in putts above you should do at least twice a week. That way you can start doing longer putts and end up being more confident in your Short Putting when it really matters in a tournament, with your buddies or even your co-workers. Then you can brag about your putting prowess and where you got your putting tips from. From good old Markie over here at Short Putting Cures. It's simpler than you think guys, you just need to practice regularly. There's no big giant secret that the Pros or the top Putting Teachers don't want you to know. Nothin' like that at all.
It's all about fundamentals in your Tap-ins and Short Putting. and like I said practice,practice, practice.
