100 yards and in drills

[shanegolf]

hello all i was just wondering what the most effective drills are in your opinion from around the 100 yards and in.

Bosch?

Time for a helpful post methinks. It depends on what you are doing. If my pro is working on my swing there might be technical drills he gives me but in terms of working on my short game my target wedge yardages are 120, 105, 95 so I ste up markers at those distances and just hit 20 balls to each. I'm still working on my shorter distances 60, 70 and 80 yards but I just work on length of backswing (quarter, half swing and then measure how far I hit those. That then becomes my target istance and I work on hitting them consistently. Not much help but for me you just need to figure out how far you hit certain partial wedge shots and then try to replicate those distances.

Hope this garbled nonsense is useful

I always remember Tom Lehman talking about practise dills one day. I thought his warm up and practise routines were great.

Pull a PW and hit a short chip up the practise ground then try and land the next shot on top of where the last ball stopped. Continue until when ever you nearly at a full swing then do the same with a 9i.

Keep going till a 7i or so. It's a great way to develop feel and a wide range of short shots.

thanks for the help guys i think i need to monitor the average distance for each of my wedges in order to gain better accuracy.

Are your struggling with accuracy or distance consistency.

This is a very good drill and one I often do when practicing at the range - prevents straining anything as you ease into the full shots with each club (with apologies for the previous post! )

But I'd also look at what you're trying to improve and why (as Oddsocks mentioned)

in response to oddsocks its a bit of both if im honest as i often hit the green just not close enough to the pin to make my share of birdies

one I try sometimes is similar to Tiger's drill. Place balls at positions 10 yds apart from 20 yds from pin all the way back to 80 yds. Play one shot from each station, moving backwards and forwards from and to the green. It is good for not repeating the same distances all the time.
