The course at which I practice has a pretty decent short game area. Two chipping/pitching greens, a large pitting green and a deep bunker.
The chipping/pitching greens are quite undulating, making target practice tricky as you're forced to play shots to different directions to get the ball to stop near the hole.
This is how I tend to practice, as the hole makes for an ample target. But I wonder should I be ignoring the flag all together? Should I be aiming to stop the ball at a flat spot on the green to dial in the distance and build control?
I get that the off center shots to roll the ball in are good for on course scenarios, but getting my shots I'm tune doesn't seem to come from hitting a 20 yard shot to the left the letting it roll forward and down 20 feet.
What do you think?
How do you practice?
