Land it in the target.
Learn to control where your chip shots finish with a simple scoring game. Build a 4-yard by 4-yard target square around the flag and chip from three different distances.
Each round has 15 shots. Before you start, choose how many balls you want to finish inside the square. Record your result and try to beat it in round two.
What you need
- Four matching cones for the target square
- Three cones of a different color for shot stations
- Five golf balls, a wedge and a measuring tape
- A chipping area with a flag in the middle of the target square
- A scorecard to track results
How to set up
- Place four same-color cones at the corners of a square measuring 4 yards on each side, centered around the hole.
- Use a different-colored cone at 15 yards from the target.
- Place the next station cone at 20 yards.
- Place the final station cone at 25 yards.
- Choose a personal target score out of 15 before starting.
Play a round
- From 15 yards, chip five balls toward the square.
- Repeat with five balls from 20 yards.
- Finish with five balls from 25 yards.
- Count each ball that finishes inside the square as one point.
- Add your points for a score out of 15.
Beat your score
Before round one: Set your own realistic goal.
Round one: Record makes from each distance and total points.
Round two: Repeat the same 15 shots and try to beat your first score.
Keep progressing: Track your personal best and see which distance needs more practice.
Example: 15 yards: 3/5 · 20 yards: 2/5 · 25 yards: 1/5 = 6/15.
