Ladder Drill to Master Chipping Distance Control

One of the most effective drills we’ve ever encountered for short game distance control is the Ladder Drill. This simple exercise can produce remarkable improvement in a surprisingly short time.

We’ve worked with beginning golfers who started out hitting chips over the green, short of the green, and everywhere in between — and within half an hour of practicing this drill, they were consistently landing within a four-foot circle of their target.

That’s an extraordinary improvement for just 30 minutes of focused practice. Here’s exactly how to do it yourself.

Start by picking a flag approximately 30 feet from the edge of the green. Hit your first chip as close to the flag as possible without going past it.

Let’s say your first chip lands four or five feet short of the flag. That’s exactly the result you want — so you move on to the next shot.
