Improving your short game is one of the best ways to lower your golf scores. Chipping, putting, and pitching are all parts of the short game that are very important for lowering your overall score. Every day, ten minutes of focused practice can really help you get better and feel more at ease on the greens. These short game drills will help you get the most out of those ten minutes.

Work on Your Chipping

Chipping is a basic part of the short game, but a lot of golfers have trouble with it. You need to practice chipping every day to get better. One easy exercise is to put three to five balls around the green, each one at a different distance from the pin. To keep your hands in front of the clubface and your follow-through smooth, use the same technique and speed for every shot. Chipping from different angles and lies can help you get better at your short game.

Quick Training with Control of Distance

Distance control is another important skill for the short game, especially when it comes to pitch shots and chip shots. The “clock drill” is a great way to practice. You put a lot of balls in a circle around the hole. Practice hitting chips to different distances so you can control how far your shot goes and always land the ball where you want it to go. This quick way to train will help you get a better feel for the distances, which will help you hit the target more accurately.

Short Putter Drills

Don’t forget to putt! Use the last few minutes of your 10-minute session to work on your putting. Set up a series of short putts that are three to five feet long to improve both your stroke and your mental game. It’s important to practice, so keep working on making your stroke and reading the greens more consistent.
