Unfortunately, this time of the year for us Ohioans it almost impossible to practice outdoors. Below are indoor drills that will help you master the pitchng wedge, one of most important scoring clubs in our bags.
Pitching Wedge
These drills can be done just about anywhere. It improves one of the most important parts of your game-wedge play.
Find about 10 feet of open floor space. Put a small towel on the floor and stand about 10 feet away. Use a short, smooth stroke, keeping your hands ahead of the clubface. Try chipping 50 balls onto the towel.
Practice so the balls land on the towel, not come to rest on the towel. Start with a 8 iron, then move to a 9 iron, and then to a wedge.
The more practice the better control you'll have over those short chips. Next time you're on the practice range, try the same drill.
Watch how far each club makes the ball roll on the putting surface.
Now you'll have more control over your chips under different conditions. After awhile, you should be able to nestle every shot close to the pin, or sink it!
