Better Practice Better Golf Short Game Workbook – Chipping, Pitching & Bunker Drills for All Levels

Boost Your Short Game with a Purposeful Practice System

The Better Practice Better Golf Short Game Workbook offers a complete set of progressive drills for chipping, pitching, and bunker play. Designed to build confidence, touch, and consistency around the greens, this workbook gives you a structured path you can repeat session after session. It’s suitable for golfers at every level, from newcomers to elite amateurs and professionals, helping you train with intention rather than on instinct alone.

Inside, you’ll find clearly organized drills that scale in difficulty, simple scorecards to capture every round of practice, and intuitive tracking tools that keep your progress easy to digest. The goal is to make each practice feel purposeful and enjoyable, so you stay motivated as you work toward smoother contact, better distance control, and more reliable touch under pressure on the course.

Why this workbook works for real life on-course results

• Structured sessions help you plan concise practice blocks focused on specific skills, from distance control to precision around the green.
• Progression levels provide increasing challenges so you can steadily raise your game without guessing what to practices next.
• Personal bests and benchmark comparisons give you tangible targets to chase during practice and on the course.
• Tracking tools and scorecards let you catalog performance over time, helping you spot patterns and celebrate improvements.

The workbook emphasizes a repeatable routine that you can reuse across seasons. It invites you to record outcomes, reflect on what worked, and fine-tune your approach. While it complements the core concepts in the main book Better Practice Better Golf, it also stands on its own as a complete short-game practice system. This flexibility means you can adopt it as your primary practice framework or as a focused add-on to broaden your short-game development.

What you’ll get and how to use it

• Scorecards for every session to capture results, track progress, and motivate ongoing effort.
• Progression-based drills that scale from fundamentals to advanced touch around the greens.
• Clear guidance on chipping, pitching, and bunker technique to build a well-rounded short game.
• Simple, repeatable routines you can practice on the range, at the practice green, or at home with a few clubs.

Dr. Nicky Lumb, a PGA Professional with a PhD in Optimising Practice for Peak Performance, lends her expertise to this workbook. Her approach blends research-backed practice structure with practical drill design, making it easier to apply what you learn on the course. The result is a practical framework you can lean on during busy weeks or extended practice blocks, with the potential to sharpen touch, shorten chips, and improve up-and-down chances when opportunities arise.
