Drills for home or garden

Posted by: user124316 | Thu 2nd Sep 2010 16:26 | Last Reply

Hi everyone,

I've got 1 yr old son and trying to get range on evening is near impossible - luckly manage to play 1 round every other weekend starting at 7am!

Does anyone know any good drills/practices I could do at home/in small garden? Particularly for short game?

Much appreciated!

Martin, something I have just learnt from attending a short game clinic with Steve Cowle.Get yourself a box or a towel and place it about 6-8ft in front of you and practice chipping into it,or on to a towel.What this does is make you focus on where you want the ball to land on the green and run out not where it finishes.This has been a big plus for me and am now chipping and pitching closer to the pin. Go to Steves website to  veiw the correct chipping technique no use practicing bad technique .You could even chip into an open brolly to start and then move on to a smaller target to focus your practice .Good luck.

Yep, definitely avoid taking a full swing indoors like Mr Marshall!

At the risk of sounding like Steve Cowle's lovechild I would really highly recommend signing up to the members area of his website.  Honestly the tips and programs on there are brilliant, many of which can be practiced safely at home and only taking minimal time per day (which is ideal if with a young family Martin).

Will certainly be the best £50 (this is a reduced fee for Golfshake members) you will spend on improving your game...

Here ends my sales pitch
