Found this one. I like the gate drill for the putting stroke. I am not sure about the whole right hand only putting practice. Maybe its just to develop a different feel, or regain a feel he likes. The guy clearly has this drill down.

It's a good drill. Notice how close he puts the tees to his putter… and try that yourself. Good luck! :)

Take note of the distance of that drill.  I think we could all benefit from making more putts inside 6 feet.

Thanks for that. Very interesting. I believe the right hand only thing is because he putts right hand dominate and as long as his pjs are facing each other on the side of the shaft wherever his right palm is facing his putter face will be as well. I practice a lot but not much on my short game but I guess it's time to start. I also would like to comment on the fact I can't remember any course where the practice green hole would hold 5 or 6 balls. Must be nice.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
