When I was having issues putting with my previous instructor (my current instructor hasn't gone over putting yet which I desperately need help with) had a sort of weather strip type metal device that she had me putt on. It actually does look like metal weather stripping that you put on the floors in doorways, but you line up the hole with this device, and there's a mini hole on one end so you place your ball there and the point of this drill is to keep your ball in a straight line with your putting stroke. So you'd just put on the weather stripping and if the ball went in the hole, then it stayed in a straight line

Also, in controlling my distances, she'd cut up pieces of string and put them parrallel to each other with enough space in between, I'd say about 4 different areas with the hole being the last one, and I'd work on mixing it up a little which area I would putt into. Helped a lot with my distance.

Good luck on your tournaments KellyBo
