Practice like a PGA Pro…no, not Tiger Woods. Me…Brandon Evans…a local PGA Pro with a fun job which occupies 8-12 hours of energy per day, 2 kids and a beautiful wife at home who I love spending time with, an affinity for landscaping, and too little time to practice golf.
Day #6 – Up and Down Game
Focus: Chipping – Mental
Description: Set-up 5-10 feet from the edge of the chipping green and select a target hole approximately 20 – 30 feet onto the green. Chip a golf ball with your regular routine, then go attempt the putt from wherever the ball ends up. If the putt is holed, you count a point for an up and down. The purpose of this drill is to simulate ‘game conditions’ by immediately having to attend to the putt and applying a consequence for the quality of your chip and/or the making of the putt. Hit 25 chips and putts, then multiply by 4 to get a percentage. Track your percentage over time to gauge improvement.
Objective: Hit 25 shots.
Time: Only 10 minutes, 70%.
