Improving your short game at home is easy. Start by working on your chipping. The easiest way to do this is to find a spot in your backyard, about 10-15 yards, place a small bucket or container down, and try to chip it in with one stroke. Next, work on your putting. One of the best ways to improve your putting is by using a practice green pad. These pads allow you to putt on all types of surfaces, including grass, carpet, and even tile floors!
