I'd be interested in community opinions on how to best emulate the conditions of pitching and chipping around the green while in one's backyard. I struggle with shots around the green, both controlling distance and trajectory, and don't belong to a golf club close enough to my home that I can practice these shots as frequently as I'd like.
As I continue along the path to becoming a better wedge player, I'd appreciate feedback on how to practice shots within 20 yards of a regulation style golf green that currently doesn't exist in my backyard.
In other words, how do I go about developing a better feel for the carry and roll of wedge shots? This would include shots from hard pan, as these really give me fits.
Thanks in advance.
