<p>Suggestion #2 - Get a shag bag and fill it with old balls. Go to a course or a range with a chipping range. Drop the balls and hit each one onto the green. Try this out of the grass and the sand. REPEAT. Make up little games/contests for yourself, i.e. closest to the pin (any pin). Golfers lose more strokes around the green than almost anything else. You can also does this in your yard, size permitting. Throw out a hoop and try to chip balls into it. (Dig that old hula hoop out of the garage.)</p>
