Chipping Challenge

On the practice chipping area, pick a starting point from anywhere around the green. Choose which flag you will be aiming for from that point. Place 10 golf balls down and with the best club for the hob aim to chip every shot as close as you possibly can as if you needed to get up and sown. Use this scoring chart to create a structured and goal driven practice session:

  • 5 Points for a golf ball that finishes in the hole
  • 4 Points for a golf ball that finishes inside one club length
  • 3 Points for a golf ball that finishes inside two club lengths
  • 2 Points for a golf ball that finishes inside three club lengths
  • 1 Point for a golf ball that finishes inside 4 club lengths
  • 0 Points for a ball outside of that

Record your total score in a golf notepad out of 50
