Performance Tip

Par 18 Practice Game

To get the most out of our practice, we need to replicate the on-course experience as much as possible.

Key ingredients for this include:
1. Gamifying it with a score or target to make it competitive.
2. Include pressure and consequences.
3. Randomise the shots.
4. Replicate the environment.

Here’s below is a great practice game named Par 18 that you can play with or without a partner to improve your short game.

Select in turn, nine different positions around a short game area from which to attempt to get up and down. Alternate between easy, medium and hard positions to provide variety of difficulty. Choose at least two positions out of the bunker. Focus like you would do on the golf course, holing out each time with your putter and keeping score. Level par would be 18 strokes in total. 21 strokes is approximately tour average ability. Play this regularly and you’ll get great feedback on where your short game is, and I guarantee it will improve in the process.
