Today was my first day playing in almost a year and i just recently started going to the range about a week ago. I have only been playing for about 8 months. Today I shot a 88 on lake Monticello in Virginia and i shot 36 for putts and 21 for chips. It seems like a lot, for being so close and i was wondering if there was any drills i can do for putting and chipping. What i consider chipping is a 100 yds and in. My irons were amazing today and driver was ok, but it was the small game. I want to get below 80 by the end of the summer and i feel this is the part of my game that needs work. Please can some of you give me drills or things i can practice on. Thanks

You sound like a natural.....8 months and in the mid 80's average.

You get your short game where you want it and you'll be scratch in no time.

36 putts and 21 chips is a lot right? I just bought a new chipping set, 52, 56, 60 and i am not hitting them that great yet. It is bothering me. I typically use my 56 to chip, but i am not hitting it right when i am around the green. Leaving a lot of chips short and hitting them fat like getting all the way underneth of them. Is there anything i can do to practice this? thanks

i was wondering if there was any drills i can do for putting and chipping. What i consider chipping is a 100 yds and in.

I pulled a muscle last week leaving me unable to take full swings, so I've been playing this game instead while it heals...

I go out on the course in the evening when it is mostly empty, taking my putter, a wedge, and a few balls... and I basically just drop the balls around the 100 yard marker and play "pitch and putt." I pretend everything is a par 3. After I hole out I hit a few more putts from the ~5 foot range, especially on the greens that have big breaks. Having neglected my short game for a long time, I have found this to be very productive. I'm already feeling much more confident in my ability to score. In fact, I've decided that as I get back to 100% health I want to continue doing this, slowly backing up and adding longer clubs one at a time, gaining confidence in each one before moving to the next. I guess it's just nice to have some focus all of a sudden, concentrating on only one thing instead of practicing everything at once. However, if you do not have a membership somewhere, and you are paying for 9 or 18 holes at a time, I understand that this might not be very practical. Tim

I'd throw a party if I scored in the 80s. LOL.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
