Practice With A Purpose

Challenge yourself during your short game practice sessions to make the grouping of chip/pitch shots smaller each time. Notice if there is a pattern of mis-hits. . .are you missing the majority of your shots too far right? Left? Short? Long? Accurately assessing and improving your practice session’s focus is the quickest way to lower your scores.
