Machine Green Drill

Problem

You need to work on your short game.

Cure

Get to the course early to work on your putting and improve your ability to get the ball onto the putting green.

Therapy

Aim at three different targets on the green. At first, work on simply getting the ball over the edge of the green with your wedges and an eight or nine iron. Set at least a dozen balls around the green and hold the extra clubs in your trailing arm. Walk around the green, hitting with just your leading arm. After hitting at each target and without any delay, switch clubs quickly and repeat. Once you have a natural feel for just getting the ball up onto the green, work on adjusting each club to achieve the loft you need in order to reach each target.
