How to Practice Pitching Under Pressure
Practice pitching under pressure so the motion holds up when par is on the line.
Add consequence
Drop one ball, choose one landing spot, and keep score. Up-and-down games, nine-shot tests, and worst-ball pitching make practice feel more like the course. If you always rake another ball over after a poor swing, you train for a world golf does not offer.
Pressure games
- Get three balls inside a putter length before leaving.
- Play 18 up-and-down holes around the practice green.
- Compete with a friend: closest ball earns a point, but chunked shots lose two.
