- Chipping Ten-Shot Game
- Each player gets to hit 10 shots to various targets
- 3 points within x feet
- 5 points for holing out
- -1 for on the green
- -5 for missed green
- “x” feet should be between 3-10 feet depending on skill level.
- Total points after ten shots is your score. Seek to make it higher each time you play.
0:40 - 1:00
- Pitching (Using the Bounce/Glide)
- “Dealing Cards” feel (video)
- Pitching practice
- Finish by seeing who can pitch the most balls with one swing (video).
1:00 - 1:10
- 1/4 On Rule
- Review the 1/4 rule and how you might apply it in various situations.
- Talk about how that 1/4 spot does not change, but the club needed to land the ball there but stop near the hole will change.
1:10 - 1:30
- Distance Wedges
- Explain the idea behind pages 37-40 in the LSW book.
- Have the students develop either a 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 swing or a 1/3 and 2/3 swing. It's not important that their feel matches the swing length you observe. For example, if it feels like 1/4 to them but looks like 1/2 to you that's okay as long as the different feels give them different distances.
- Partner the students up and have them measure a few swings for each student - their 1/4 sand wedge swing, for example.
- Have them read pages 37-40 and measure their distance wedge yardages and tape them to the bottom of their shafts for next week.
