How Can I Improve My Short Game? (I have few access to a green)

[xd3vilx]

Hi, I been back from a tournament and sadly I am quite happy with my driver, my woods and my irons. Pitching has not been a problem for me too. But what is killing me is my short game (Chipping and Putting). I know the best way to improve is to practice, practice and more practice. However, I have very less access to a proper green every month. Are there any method where I can practice my short game in a driving range, at home etc? I been trying to use less crowded course to spend more time on the green however it doesn't seem to help as I can't be visiting course everyday. Thanks for your advice.

Regards

buy one of those cheap putting greens with two holes in it.. that will help you better your stroke and sink more putts..

You dont even need to buy sth special. I have a big carpet 4 or 5 Yards long I suppose. I just put a tiny coin on it and try to hit it either with a putt or a Lobwedge chip, works good for me gives me the needed security when i am out on a real (slower) green

Tough one, I practice indoors with a real ball and my 58 degree Vokey - although I don't let my wife catch me. I haven't broken anything yet so that's a good sign. When you chip indoors on a carpet shoot for a landing and consider roll. If you hit both your spots and can repeat it, you'll be a better chipper. Tiger has some excellent chipping techniques which I try (trying being the operative word here) to emulate. Good luck and happy chipping!!

Using carpet seem to be a good idea. I will go to look for carpet that can best simulate a green. Thanks for the ideas.
