Learn not to allow for too much break on short putts
I often see amateurs allow for too much break when they putt from close range.
Aiming outside the hole is risky from inside 5ft so it's important to develop trust in the fact that the ball will not break too much.
Find a 3ft putt with a decent amount of break and place a tee peg behind the hole on the side from which the ball will break.
Aim at the tee and you'll see how little the putt bends. This drill will convince you to aim straighter from close range.
