TIP FOR THE WEEK: SHORT GAME DRILL
Your short game practice should be 3 times the amount of time you work on your full swing. Here is a drill I like to do when I need to sharpen my short game: Start off with a small chip from 5 to 10 yards from the greens edge. Pick out four separate pins to shoot to, your focus should be where you want the ball to land, and run out past the pin 3 to 4 feet. Use a cone or some sort of obstacle to chip over 5 to 6 feet in front of your ball for each shot. Hit 5 to 10 balls to all four targets. After you have completed your chip shot from 5 to 10 yards, move back 10 yards and continue the drill, moving back 10 yards each time until you have a 50 yard pitch. Your goal should be grouping your shots to within 8 feet or closer for every shot. Good Luck and Good Practicing.
