Practice like a Tour Pro

You don’t rise to the occasion—you fall to the level of your training. After 40 years of coaching, I’ve learned that consistent golf comes from disciplined, structured Effective practice—not just a few lessons and chance.

This training aid builds real golf practice endurance by reinforcing repeatable, pressure-proof habits you can trust on the course to bring those scores down.

How it Works…

The Gimies Cube features six sides, with each representing a specific task intended to refine particular elements of your game, shot execution, and feel.

Simply roll the Gimies Cube to determine your next practice challenge. Complete the specific task dictated by the cube roll.

A practice session concludes once you’ve successfully completed all Gimies cube challenges.

Explore tailored practice routines for: Putting – Short Game – Long Game each guided by the roll of the Gimies Cube.

The more you play and train with the Gimies Cube the more habit forming your practice routine will become.

Develop your mental endurance and train yourself to focus and concentrate in a relaxed state of mind for longer periods of time.

Practice for the course… not just for the Range

Are you practicing your swing, or are you practicing to play golf? That’s the crucial difference between “Block Practice” and the Effective Practice that actually lowers your scores.

This is where the Gimies Cube transforms your routine. This simple, six-sided training aid is your key to unlocking game-ready skills by forcing you to practice Effectively.

Caddie Tip: Set Up for Success

Before you begin, set up your practice stations to save time and keep your focus

Place tee pegs in the ground out in a straight line from the hole at 4ft, 8ft, 12ft and 20ft. (Let’s say that 1ft is equal to your foot print”) This creates the markers for all distance challenges including the Compass and Ladder Drill so that you can practice without being distracted by having to remeasure.


HOW TO PLAY

  • Set Up: Choose your challenge spot – flat for consistency or undulating for realism.
  • Your Goal: Aim for the perfect single putt!
  • Roll the Gimies cube: Let the GIMIES cube determine your next specific challenge or distance.
  • Execute the Challenge:
    • For distance putts (4ft, 8ft, 12ft, 20ft), address the ball from the chosen distance with your 4 balls.
    • For drill putts (Compass or Ladder), follow the unique instructions below.
  • Track Your Progress: Log your results and strive to beat them next time.

  • 20ft Long Putts: Master pace control and lag putting for easy two-putts.

SPECIALISED DRILLS

Compass Drill: From North, South, East, and West, sink four consecutive 4-foot putts around a single hole. Complete them all in order to finish the challenge. (Get Tough: Miss any putt, and you start over again)

Ladder Drill: Starting at 4ft, progress sequentially through 8ft, 12ft, and 20ft to complete the challenge*.(Turn the pressure up a notch – Make it Tough: Miss any putt – then you start again.)

Caddie Tip: Chip from the green perimeter or further back instead of putting.

Pocket Money:

Chip or putt 4 balls from around 20 ft. Start with £1 in virtual money: Hole a Putt you ‘Double your Money’ – Finish within 8ft add 10p – Outside 8ft deduct 10p.

Helps you visualise and understand how the different lofts play out to improve your shot game.
