CHIPPING DRILL

Many players practice chipping from one distance until they get the
feel for that shot, from that distance. This can be effective, but
what happens when you don't see that distance during your next round
of golf.

Instead try chipping from different distances during your next
practice session. Drop six balls in pairs of two from twenty feet,
twenty-five feet, and thirty feet. Hit the first two, move back and
hit the next two, and then move to hit the last two. Start over, and
maybe even adjust distances. This drill will give you a better feel
for all distances when you get to that next chip shot. You might not
be perfect from one distance, but you will be much more effective
from all distances.

Then, take the drill one step further. Try hitting a bump and run
with one ball, and a higher chip shot with the other. Working on
different shots, from different distances will improve your
confidence around the greens.
