Golf Studio presents a simple short game drill using a sand wedge, pitching wedge, and 7-iron from the same spot on the practice green. By aiming for a single landing target (a tee), golfers see how different lofts carry the same distance but produce wildly different roll-outs. This technique teaches golfers to pick a landing spot and select the club that rolls the remaining distance to the pin.
Always pick a specific spot on the green where you want your chip ball to land.
Higher lofted clubs (sand wedge) carry high and roll less; lower lofted clubs (7-iron) roll much farther from the same landing point.
Select your club based on how much green you have between the landing spot and the target.
Practice this tee-landing drill on the greens you play regularly to calibrate your club choices.
