Here are two drills that the Seemore Pro recommended to me.
Pullback Drill- If you are short of the cup, you need to move the ball back one club length. (This sucks for the belly and broom stick guys. HAHA) This helps you put the ball past the cup.
DMB can you explain this one more? Is that after you miss?
My favorite on the practice green is to putt around from each cup to the next, usually 9 holes, and I have to make it around in 18 strokes or less before I can leave the course. I've ran out of daylight once.
I'm only doing one drill this winter, making sure I'm rolling it straight. I color half the ball and then it's easy to see if I'm rolling it well. Rolling it straight means you only have to worry about read and speed.
I'm not DMB, but I'll chime in. What he means by the pullback drill is that on every putt that you miss, you move the ball away from the hole the distance of your putter. Most standard-length putters are 33-35 inches, so you're adding just under 3 feet to every putt. It forces you to get better in the 3-6 foot range, and is a great thing to do on a practice green.

My high school golf coach made us do this during practice. When we would play nine holes we had to do that on all greens. You played until you shot par for that nine. If you were on number 8 and hit your 3rd shot and it was the 35th, you were done. Whoever made it the farthest on the nine didn't have to run the full amount the next day.
Run at golf practice! That is why I played high school golf.
After some reading, I started a new drill. One ball and get it in the hole - hopefully in one putt. I'm looking to clear my mind, not think about my stroke, and just focus on the target.
Awesome dude. Cant wait to hear that works. I do that with chipping. One ball. And then putt it in the hole.
Since I'm unable to swing a club for a few months, I'm going to be working hard on my putting. I'm hoping to turn my weakness into a strength!
I love the ladder drill that has been described previously. I do that using my Birdie Ball putting green pretty much every day but it's only allowing me to work on 8' and in.
One of the things I plan to start doing is work with a metronome on my putting tempo. Tick @ takeaway and Tock @ impact. My coach worked with me on this last year but i never practiced it much. Now I have the time and desire to work on it.
I've read that everyone's tempo is different and you have to find what works for you. I'm going to start around 50-60 bpm and see where I go from there.
If you have a smart phone, I am pretty sure you can download a metronome. I bought one (Korg) off Ebay last year for less than $20.
