Practice Drills
The following are some drills that we will use to increase our skill levels in specific area of the game.
Putting: Ladder drill
Start at 3 feet, make 15 in a row.
Back up to 6 feet. Make 12 of 15.
Back up to 9 feet. Make 10 of 15.
Back up to 20 feet. Putt 10 balls. Each ball should finish inside a 2 foot radius. Try to make at least one.
**If at any step you fail to reach the goal, you must start over at 3 feet.
Up and downs:
Use four balls. Complete each step before moving on.
Pitch and run with 8 iron then PW. Get all four up and down.
Chip shot requiring PW then SW. All four up and down.
Shoulder high shot: requiring a sand wedge (very little green to work with). All four up and down. (This shot may not get higher than you are tall)
Bunker shots: Choose 3 different bunker shots: short, intermediate, long. All four up and down at all 3 shots.
Wedge Play: The players will play 9 holes starting each hole at 100 yards. The goal in this drill is to shoot 27.
Full Swing: Good shots are well struck and fly on the intended trajectory and most importantly have been the result of proper routine. All shots will be hit to a target. No shots will be hit without purpose.
