Haphazardly chipping around the practice green isn’t going to do a lot for your game, and it’s pretty boring. In order to give you a little inspiration for the next time you want to get some wedge practice in, we asked three of our Golf Digest Best Young Teachers to tell us their favorite short game drills.

The One-Legged Chip

3 great chipping drills to try out on the range!

Erika Larkin, Director of Instruction at The Club at Creighton Farms in Aldie, Virginia

A lot of golfers shift their weight around too much when they’re chipping, says Larkin. If you’re moving around a lot, you’re not going to make good, consistent contact—the result: bad chips. Larkin’s favorite chipping drill, the one-legged chip, fixes that problem.

“Take a narrow stance and put most of your weight on your front foot. Let the toe of your rear foot rest on the ground. Hit some shots from this position, and you’ll see some immediate improvement in contact and consistency.”
