Ideas for backyard games to improve putting?

Posts: 9 		I'm trying to work on my short game and putting. Have a backyard big enough to practice those in and was wondering if anyone knows of any games or something we could do to make the practice fun. I saw somewhere a mention of playing something called "horse", what is that exactly? Also, until we buy/make a backyard basket, any ideas for cheap targets? They don't have to be basket-like, just something more interesting than just aiming for tree trunks... WV Stick

HORSE can be played with 2 or more people, first person steps up and shoots a put from anywhere they choose - if they make it then the opponent must repeat the same shot and make it. If they miss they get a letter - H. After you have 5 letters and spell horse you lose, simple!

have fun!
