Make Practice Fun And Productive
To improve your game you must practice. WHAT and HOW you practice is important. I think most players can improve faster by working on their short game. Putting, chipping and pitching make up the vast majority of your score so spend twice as much time working on these shots as you spend on your long game.
To make chipping practice fun and productive I suggest you play a game I call “chip eleven”. Simply take eleven balls and chip them to a flag on the practice green. When you have chipped all eleven balls, remove the closest five balls and the farthest five balls. The eleventh ball represents the mathematical median. If this ball is within three feet, you are a great chipper. You should do this drill with different clubs and from different locations. This drill makes practice interesting and it provides feedback regarding your chipping prowess.
