Place one tee at your feet, then pace off seven steps and place a second tee. Pace off another three steps and place the third tee.

Standing at the first tee, putt your first ball to at least the second tee distance, but as close to it as possible.
If your ball doesn't reach the second tee, then start over.

Each subsequent putt has to be past the ball that preceded it, but can not travel farther than the third tee.
If a putt doesn't travel farther than the previous putt, the drill is over.
If a putt travels past the third tee, the drill is over.
