What you need:
- · Wedge of your choice
- · Shoe box
- · Golf balls (regular of foam depending on your level of confidence)
- · Small swatch of carpet to hit from (if your floors aren’t carpet)
- · Small hand towel or wash cloths
This drill is best done in one of the bigger rooms in your
house or possible a hallway. Place the
hand towel (or a couple of wash cloths) inside the show box, as this will help
keep the balls from bouncing out. Place the shoe box approx 3 to 5 yards away
and begin chipping into the box.
After a few minutes move the box closer or vise versa. It’s
good to change your chipping distance often just as your chipping distances
vary on the course.
Obviously there is no roll after the chip while doing this
drill. Never fear, chipping is about hitting a spot. As your doing the drill
take notes on a few key elements; 1. Distance of the chip & length of
backswing necessary for that distance. The more in-tune you are with the length
of your backswing to cover a certain distance, the more up & ins you’ll
start to see.
Remember chipping to a “spot” on the green and putting less focus on the hole will have you making more up & ins!
