Putting Path Gates 2.0

Thanks and Appreciation

My name is Jacob Lehman and I’m a golf management student at Methodist University. I’m a junior in the program and an aspiring head professional/director of golf. I’m currently the 3rd Assistant at the Apawamis Club in Rye, NY. I bought a 2 in gate from Eyeline a few weeks ago. Since I started playing tournament golf, I’ve always done the gate drill as a part of my pre-round routine and in practice to focus on hitting my lines. I’ve perfected the two-tee method after years of doing the drill but I invested in the gate for ease of set-up. I do this drill with my members and my junior golfers all the time at the club. I can tell you with 100 percent certainty we will be buying all the gates at our club to use in junior camps and lessons going forward. It’s a must have if you’re teaching or practicing using gate drills.

I was skeptical

I didn’t think these would add much to my putting but I thought what the heck I’ll try. What did I do first hole of the first time playing, after about an hour and a half practicing with these for the first time? I rolled a thirty foot put for birdie one the first hole. The rest of the round was mostly two puts. These are tricky and a bit tedious at first to practice with, but they’re like braces for your teeth. They really sharpen your focus around path and speed.

Still learning ....

Perhaps I inadvertently threw out the instructions. If not, the product, could use some thoughts or clues about how to begin or the most frequent methods of setting up these gates. Nevertheless I am enjoying a trial and error approach and already know these gates have helped my stroke.
