Pin Ball Game

When you don't get the opportunity to play frequently or get in a full practice session, your short game gets very rusty.  If you can fit in 30 minutes to an hour of practice at lunch or with a friend, the "Pin Ball Game" will keep you focused on scoring.  The game is fun and motivational, and you will keep your chipping and putting skills sharp for your next match. Plan several times of practice to develop your skill at this game, and keep your score to measure your improvement.  Good Luck!

PIN BALL GAME

“Every winner knows where he or she is going day by day…every day. Winner’s are goal oriented and self-directed. Programmed incompletely, non-specifically, or aimed at a target too far out of range, the “homing torpedo” will wander erratically around until its propulsion system fails."

Select a position around the green that gives you a shot to all holes.  Your goal is to get the ball up and down from the same place to each different hole consecutively. Record the number of attempts for each hole before going to the next hole. For example: if you make a two on a hole, record your score and select the next hole. However, on any hole that  you do not get up and down in two, keep your score until you putt out, go back to where you hit your original shot and keep adding up the score until the hole is completed with an up and down in two. Your score could be a 7 on one hole.
