Improving your short game is one of the fastest ways to lower your golf score. From putting to chipping, the short game requires precision, control, and confidence. It’s not always about power — it’s about finesse and feel around the greens.
Start by focusing on distance control with your wedges. Many players make the mistake of swinging too hard instead of working on consistent tempo and clean contact. Practicing half and three-quarter shots with your pitching and sand wedges can add serious control to your game.
Putting, often underestimated, is where most strokes are gained or lost. Spend more time on your lag putting and learn to read greens effectively. Simple drills like the “gate drill” or “circle drill” can help you develop better aim and feel on the greens.
Don’t forget to practice under pressure. Recreate real-game scenarios during your training to build confidence when it matters most. Over time, a solid short game will become your biggest asset on the course.
