Steps
- 01Set up 9 short-game stations using lies typical of a real round: light rough, tight lies, and awkward stances.
- 02Play each station as a full up-and-down.
- 03Log how many of the 9 are saved.
- 04Record the result in a running log after each session.
- 05Review the log over the season to see which lie types need more work.
Target
Try to log a better save count than your season average.
