Eyes Closed Putting

Find a straight putt around 15-20 feet on a level part of the green. Set up as you normally would and read the putt (even though it's straight, you want to go through your routine).

Take your stance and look at the hole to get a final image of the distance. Then, just before starting your stroke, close your eyes (or softly focus your eyes down without actually looking at the ball).

Stroke the putt with your eyes closed, and focus on how the stroke feels – the length of the backswing, the contact with the ball, the roll.

Keep your eyes closed until you believe the ball has finished rolling, then open them to see where it ended up.

Repeat this for a number of putts. You'll likely find your distance control improves as you tune into your internal sense of timing and force. You can vary the drill by sometimes looking at the hole during the stroke (instead of closing eyes) — that's another technique to enhance feel. The main idea is to break free from over-focusing on the stroke and develop natural rhythm.
