Short Putting--How Long Should Your Practice Putting Sessions Be? Some Great Insight From USGTF Pro Mark Harman Hey Guys
Hope you're able to get out on a green or indoor green somewhere and practice your short putting. Even though here in the Canadian and US Northeast we're being hit by winter pretty good at the moment. But for those of you down in the south east or out west, no reason you can't get out on the green and practice your putting. Tell em' Markie got your short putting game going.
In this short interview I asked Mark how much the pros actually practice their putting, and how long their sessions are. because I've had a few questions on this. I even said to Mark in an email: Wouldn't even 10 minutes 2 or 3 times a week help your short putting? He agreed. And I also keep saying here on the blog, for most of you don't try to practice putt 30 minutes or more 3 or 4 times a week.
Why?
Because most of you will quit. I personally think that 10 minutes even twice a week would improve your short putting, incredibly! Sorry guys, that's just the way it is. When you're a pro and on the tour, you know you have to practice 30 minutes a session.
Okay, here's the pro Mark Harman from the USGTF. It's really short which is the way I like to keep it, so you get in there, learn something and take action on it.

Hi Mark, Good to hear from you again. When I was competing at the top of my game on the mini tours,I would practice my putting about 15 minutes before I played and then about 15-30 minutes after,maybe 3 times a week.Since I was always a very good putter,I didn't really ever practi-ce it that much. On the other hand, I've heard stories about guys who will putt for hours on end. So I think it depends on the golfer.My best guess is that there are guys who only hit a few putts, then there are guys like me who putt maybe 30 minutes a day,and there are guys who putt an hour or more each day. From viewing the pros at Harbour Town each year,which is near where I live,and based on my caddying experience on the PGA Tour back in 1990,I would guess the average PGA Tour pro practices about 45 minutes a day on non-tournament days and about 30 minutes a day on tournament days.
When they're home, I couldn't say. I even read more and more stories about when pros are home,they don't even touch a club until they go back out on tour. So overall,it varies greatly between golfers,but I think if you average it out it will come to what I said in the above paragraph. Mark Harman
