Easy Hacks That Boost Your Short Game Golf

Many golfers of varied skill sets never practice their short game golf, and it shows on the course.

While religiously working away on hitting full blown golf shots on the driving range, few players take the time to practice the most crucial elements of golfing.

Rather than practicing their chip shots or putts, most amateur golfers can be found teeing up their drives.

If you’re not hitting greens with these shots and are reliant on short game golf strategy, the only way to get better comes from practicing.

Since such a high number of balls land in this region, every golfer should take a serious look at how well they’re performing there.
