Hi everyone, it's your resident noob here! As I'm getting ready to head off to the chip n' putt to practice, what are some good pitching and chipping drills to try?
Here's what I currently do - our pitching green is elevated, so I try to circle the green and go from all different lies. I chip over the sand bunker, and in between the bunker and the green. I try to vary the distance too, and find the rough. I sometimes step on the ball a little if I can't find high grass. One of the pitching greens has a downhill slope, so I practice on it too. I try to aim for each flag as well.
I usually take 6-9 of my own balls, and practice with those, hitting the same amount from vaguely the same spot (I kind of throw them out and play as they lie) - if others are there, I just use range balls. This rarely happens, so I'm usually on my own.
So what are your favorite drills or games to try while chipping? I'm not good enough to do the hula hoop thing yet!
