Maggie Minute- Putting and Chipping on the Next Tee
Place: Chipping Green
Items Needed: Golf Balls, Wedges, 9-iron, etc.
Skill Gained:
Why? Attempting to chip consecutive shots in a row within a specified range applies pressure.
Game:
Start 1 foot from the edge of the green.
Chip 10 in a row to within 3 feet of hole.
Start close (1 ft) and then try 10 chips from further away (2, 3, 4 ft).
As this game becomes easier, make it more difficult by tossing the ball in the rough or further off the green.
Scoring:
Junior Golfer: Chip 10 in a row to within 6 feet
College Golfer: Chip 10 in a row to within 3 feet
Tour Player: Chip 10 in a row to within 2 feet.
Level I : Chip 9 times from 5-10 yards to a hole from fairway height lies to a relatively flat target
Level II: Repeat Level I and increase severity by adding slopes (uphill/sidehill/downhill)
Level III: Repeat Level II and increase severity by dropping the ball and alternating lies (fairway/rough)
Level IV: Repeat Level I difficulty and increase variety of distances from different holes
Level V: Repeat Level II difficulty and increase variety of distances from different holes
Level VI: Repeat Level III difficulty and increase variety of distances from different holes
Level VII: Repeat Level I-Level VI goal and decrease your proximity to hole to 2 feet
You get the idea. Start easy and gain confidence with your proximity to the hole and increase the level of difficulty and score.
I would recommend a portion of this game at each practice session. As your Proximity to the Hole score increases, your Tournament Scores will decrease!
You will benefit by gaining focus and teaching yourself to read slopes, handle pressure and build your Library of Confidence!
And call me when you get to Level VII with a score of +9! I want to invest in your future!
