10 Chance Driving Game

Pick two targets approx. 40 yards apart and try and hit ten balls through these two points. If you get more than seven through the 40 yard target narrow your targets to 20 yards.
The aim of this game is not to progress to the 20 yards target unless you can get 7/10 through the 40 yard target.
Only hit a maximum of ten balls at each target with your driver and always record your scores in your practice book each practice session.

"Par 18" Short Game Challenge

If you have a short game practice facility this is a great game to play and is used and played by several European Tour Pro's. Use nine balls from different locations and distances around the green, chip the balls to the hole and putt out. Record your score for the nine balls in your practice book. A good score is 22, a European player will average 20 at this game.

Practice Book

Buy yourself a small notebook that will fit in your bag. Every time you practice put the date/time and record your score for the 10 Chance Driving game and "Par 18" short game. You can also use this for recording your putts per round when you play and your scores.
