Last week I posted three short game drills that can improve your golf game. Hopefully, you have had a chance to try them out and begin practicing these drills. In review,
PUTTING DRILL:
LONG PUTTING PRACTICE: Practice putting 40, 50, and 60-foot putts until you have made twenty putts from these distances.
CHIPPING DRILL
3 WITH 3 CHIPPING DRILL: Drop balls in different locations. Chip with a 6-iron until three shots are holed out. Repeat this drill with an 8-iron and a pitching wedge.
PITCHING DRILL
DISTANCE CONTROL PITCHING DRILL: Practice with a sand wedge and play the ball forward in the stance, then in the middle of the stance, then in the back of the stance. This develops trajectory control which is essential for being able to fly the ball the correct distance in the air on pitch shots.
In addition to these drills here is a new practice drill to add to your short game practice routine.
PUTTING DRILL
RIGHT-HANDED PUTTING DRILL: With a short putter, practice putting eight-footers with the right hand only until you make three in a row. This will improve your ability to get the ball on line.
With consistent practice you should be well on your way to lower scores. Feel free to share your wins or respond to this blog post with any questions you may have.
