Tiger Woods Practicing at 2013 U.S. Open (Merion)

A bunch of footage I took of Tiger Woods practicing on Tuesday, June 11th at Merion Golf Club for the U.S. Open. He arrived on the putting green around 11:00 am and went up to the driving range around 11:30 or so. He went to the far end of the range where there were no bleachers behind, so it was difficult to get footage of him there. He teed off on hole #1 at 12:52 pm with Lee Westwood and Simon Khan.

The putting drills he was doing are good for several things. The one where he put two tees by the toe and heel of the putter is called the "gate" drill. It improves your contact with the ball, ensuring you strike the ball in the center of the face every time. The one-handed drill helps the brain understand what the role of each hand is during the putting stroke. Very good techniques for golfers out there to try.

It is a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W730. Just a basic digital camera, but good enough for 720p HD.

add the 2 tee's gate with Cam Smith's putting mirror, and this is the best 1-2 putting aid you can ever
use. I've tried the putting rails, putting arc, learning curve, etc. but this is best way to ingrain a repeatable stroke...
