Do you have any home made teaching aids?

Here is one I read about:

Practice putting with a D battery.
Try putting it in a straight line, without hitting the edges of your battery.

I practice putting with three balls.  Set two balls about 3 feet apart.  From about another 3 feet, putt to one (of the two balls) so it carries just enough speed to touch the third ball.  This helps me with concentration as well as feedback on whether my stroke is on line.

I like this idea and I'm going to use it. It's got to help you keep a square putter face and swing straight down the line.

My DIY is not for teaching, but for conditioning. I made a slosh tube out of 4" PVC X 5 foot long. You cap one end, fill it about 3/4 full of water, then cap the other end. To use it, place it across the back of your neck and shoulders, then rotate shoulders and hips in the same motion as a golf swing. Slower of course. I think it keeps me more flexible.

    • Yes.  Did he not hit the range before the round? When my first few pre-round drives aren't what I expect, the first thing I check is my driver settings, in case they changed.  I am on my second adjustable driver and I am still not trusting that golf gremlins don't change it between rounds. The second thing I check is my alignment and setup, and that is far more often the culprit than my settings. In any case, there are some simple things that I imagine should be on a professional player's pre-round checklist that I am surprised when they aren't.  One of those is the settings for any adjustable clubs. 
    • It was also set at B1 at a previous event, and… so there's dubiousness around whether he's telling the truth (again).
