Practice Your Short Game Under Pressure

If you want to improve your golf game, you need to practice your short game. That means spending time hitting chips and pitches from different lies and distances, and working on your bunker play and putting as well.

But don’t just practice hitting balls on the range. To really improve, you need to practice under pressure.

“Start implementing pressure into your practice,” said the founder of the Short Game Institute in Las Vegas. “Practice hitting a chip shot with someone standing behind your back.”

“If you’re not nervous, it doesn’t count,” he said. “You need to be able to perform under pressure.”

Here are a few tips for practicing your short game under pressure:

Find a practice partner. Having someone to watch you and give you feedback can help you stay focused and accountable.
Set a goal. Try to make a certain number of chips or pitches from a certain distance.
* Track your progress. Keep track of how many shots you make and miss, so you can see how you’re improving.
