ChippingIntermediate

Gate to the Hole

10-20 min Solo Tees, Putting Gate, Golf Balls

Setup

Place a gate 12 inches in front of the ball on the intended chip line. Choose a 12–18 foot chip.

Drill Instructions

Hit sets of 10 chips required to pass through the gate before rolling out. Change landing spot height by club selection to learn different flights with same start line. Record gate success and up-and-down conversions.

Goal

Gate success ≥80% and at least 4/10 holed or inside 3 feet per set.

Make It Easier

Move the gate to 6 inches and widen it slightly.

Coach Tip

A square face at impact is more about path and low point than manipulation—set your body alignments.

Make It Harder

Narrow the gate and add a downslope to the target.

Avoid

Hitting down excessively and chunking; brush the grass, don’t dig.
