Online Golf Clinic: Improve Your Short Game in 9 Sessions

Improve your short game with distance control drills, including a leapfrog target drill and a three-gate drill to test direction, distance, and concentration.

Recognize anxiety signals, keep a light grip to preserve hand feel and improve distance judgment, and use confident anchors to link good shots with positive emotions.

Improve your short chip skills and confidence by performing diverse practice drills like power 18 and the lathers drill on the chipping green, using varied targets and a metronome.

Relax your hands and swing smoothly to pop the ball out of the bunker by hitting the sand behind it, then visualize a soft, controlled land near the flag.

Practice drills on the range emphasize alignment checks with a club placed down, using imaginary fairways and varied targets to simulate on-course play and support pre-shot routines.

Anchor confidence on demand by linking peak shots to a trigger word and positive body language, so practice swings cue reliable, confident performance on the course.

Focus on controllable goals and mental preparation to avoid score targets and first-tee impulses. Use 3-4 controllable goals from post-round feedback and ask essential questions before each shot.

Learn to focus on the process over outcomes by answering three key questions—your strategy, target, and shot shape—while using imagery and post‑round feedback sheets to anchor confidence on day one.

Finish a round strong by maintaining a calm mental pre-shot routine, controlled breathing, and good body language, focusing on controllable goals and course management.

Discover how to enter the flow state or zone by relaxing, using positive imagery, and a focused pre-shot routine, while coupling mental and technical practice to improve short game.
