Practice Smarter / Improve your ball striking

Spend more time at the practice green chipping and improve your ball striking.

Seems too good to be true?

If you spend more time practicing chipping you will save more par. When you'll be facing a long 180 yds iron shot off the fairway of the 15th hole, knowing it's easy for you to get up and down will make your shot easier with less pressure as you won't feel you need to hit the green to make a par.

Knowing you can save pars, will make your driving and iron play easier and a more confident overall golfer.

Practice Smarter / Chipping

How to be the best chipper.

Chipping is all about the feel for distance, practice is golden. If done daily, 15 minutes a day is enough to be a scratch golfer. 5-7 days a week.

Frequency is a short game key. Why?

Great chipping for better players is not about precision, but about distance control. Distance control comes from feel, the only way to maintain feel is by practicing every day. If you can do 10 minutes per session 2 times a day you would be even better.

Try it for a week, I want your feedback on this advice. You'll see amazing improvement.

Practice Smarter / How Many Balls?

It’s not : How many? It’s only: How?

You don’t have to hit 3000 balls a week to become a scratch golfer. You won't be able to keep your focus on every swing, focus is a key.

Hitting 200-400 max is enough if you use mental imagery and a model. You will groove your swing by always repeating it the same way.
