Practicing distance control doesn’t have to be boring: turn it into a fun game of “pitch” and catch. Get your husband, your son, your wife, daughter, friend, nephew, aunt, or buddy to put on a glove and stand some distance from you. Hit ten shots, allowing your friend to move between shots. Count the number of times your friend can make a catch without moving more than one step in any direction.
Then switch and let your partner try to beat your score. Use any club in the bag and play a range of distances from 20 yards to 100 yards. You will want to win, and so you’ll quickly locate the distance with which your partner has the most difficulty, encouraging him to practice his weak spots (and he yours).
