MY GOLF BLUEPRINT
A four-week short-game program
Beginner to intermediate
Build a low chip, a controlled pitch and a reliable bunker exit.
Use two focused sessions each week plus a short on-course or putting test when practical. A 15-minute version can use the first task only; a 30- or 60-minute session can add target changes and a scored finish. Allow recovery and adapt volume to comfort.
Week 1: Land low chips
Compare two clubs to the same landing zone and record rollout.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Week 2: Control pitch carry
Alternate three attainable landing distances with a wedge.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Week 3: Escape sand
Practice entry and exit in a designated bunker; count successful green-reaching shots.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Week 4: One-ball circuit
Play from nine varied lies and putt out each ball. Record total strokes and failed recoveries.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Measure your progress
Use both landing-zone success and one-ball circuit scores. Practice the lie that caused the repeated problem.
Lessons for this program
Avoid this mistake
Do not add several new technical changes after a poor session. Compare similar tasks, note conditions and keep the next goal small. If the movement is uncomfortable or progress stalls, a qualified coach can help adapt the plan.
These programs set practice priorities. They do not guarantee a score or a timetable for improvement.
