Master Your Short Game Indoors!

Elevate Your Golf Skills with this Indoor Chipping Drill for the Offseason!


For golfers, the offseason is not a time to rest but an opportunity to fine-tune essential skills. While outdoor practice may be limited, there's a simple yet effective indoor chipping drill that requires only a towel and a wedge. In this article, we'll delve into the significance of the short game and guide you through a no-ball indoor chipping drill that can keep your golf skills sharp during the offseason.


The Importance of the Short Game: Understanding the critical role the short game plays in determining overall golf performance, especially shots within 100 yards of the pin, emphasizes the need for targeted practice. With the offseason restricting outdoor opportunities, focusing on indoor chipping not only sharpens your technique around the green, but also reinforces solid impact fundamentals.


  1. Equipment Needed:

  • Golf mat or carpet

  • Towel

  • Wedge (sand or lob)

  1. Setup:

  • Place the golf mat or carpet in a suitable space for chipping practice.

  • Lay the towel on the ground one clubhead behind imaginary ball.

  1. Execution:

  • Adopt your normal chipping stance and grip, mimicking your outdoor setup.

  • Without a ball, focus on your swing motion, practicing the backswing and downswing.

  • Aim to brush the carpet with your wedge on the target side of the towel, simulating the contact point with a golf ball (hitting down through the ball)

  1. Repetition:

  • Repeat the drill, adjusting the length of your imaginary chip shots to vary difficulty.

  • Concentrate on the feel of the swing, honing your ability to control the club and replicate a consistent motion.


Benefits of No-Ball Indoor Chipping Drills:

  1. Precision: Practicing without a ball allows you to focus solely on the swing's precision and control.

  2. Convenience: With minimal equipment, you can easily integrate this drill into your indoor practice routine.
