Up and Down

[mooregolf]

I am a decent putter and decent chipper but i cant ever seem to get up and downs, i never 3 putt and never duff chips. Any ideas or drills on how to improve on this area?

[whatwhatwhat]

Im sorry but if you never get up and down then you are either a poor chipper or poor putter or a bit of both, just because you make crisp contact doesnt mean you are a good chipper, holing out and chipping close is how you gauge how good you are not by contact or not 3 putting, Its like saying Im a great ballstriker but a cant hit a GIR to save my life, doesnt make sense does it

im a decent chipper and decent putter, could and want to be better at both, i get about 50-75% of missed GIR up and down and i want to improve it to 90-100%

I am a decent putter and decent chipper

Now you are telling me 75% up and down? dude which is it? matt kuchar is the best scrambler on the pga at the moment and he gets 66% up and down

he is also playing 13 stemp greens with 16 inch breaks, im playing soft flat 9 stemps complete difference. on a good day i get around 75% depending on how many GIR i hit

75% is still a decent statistic for an 8.4 I think, often I see high handicaps taking their time on tee shots then running up and hitting a chip without a thought, just something Ive noticed, go back a page and Ive got a thread on short game tips if you want a look at that
