I have been working w a great instructor this winter, and he introduced this wedge game to me I start and end every practice session with this game so far, i think it has been super beneficial and i think it is going to make a world of difference in this years scores and dropping my index below 2

i used to flip quite a bit w my wedges, 100% not even knowing it but i made it work and RARELY hit one fat or skulled one, but he has me keeping my left arm much straighter on these short shots and my consistency is scary now

below is a shitty paint pic of the indoor set up and ill explain below

wedge game.jpg

-so i start by hitting 2 balls to each arrow (there are lines actually painted on the floor, as its also used for indoor volleyball, tennis etc.)

-i will look at an actual spot on the floor or a ball and try to hit that ball

-then try to hit each target w the purple arrows w one ball

-Then I “play a round” from tee to green 18 holes -I just envision the shot and distance I need and execute it

-If I have a spot close to the putting green, I will even make a putt or two

-Finish off w the same above wedge court game

This has really made indoor practice a lot more fun .......I sooo miss taking a divot!!! hahahah!!!!!

but this is better than NOT hitting balls i guess

anyways, thought i would share what does your indoor winter practice consist of??

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
