Golfing
with Aiden.

01 / PUTTING / 10 MINUTES

Start on the green.

Give the ball a clear starting line, then learn the pace.

1. Choose a straight putt of about 1 metre. Set two tees a little wider than the ball, roughly 30 cm ahead of it, to form a gate.
2. Roll five balls through the gate. Aim to send them through cleanly with a smooth stroke; reset your aim before each attempt.
3. Move to putts of about 3, 6 and 9 metres. Pick a small target area around a hole or tee and practise finishing close to it.
4. Alternate distances instead of repeating the same putt. Note whether your misses tend to finish short or long, and adjust the length of your stroke.

Keep the start-line drill and distance drill separate. One is about direction; the other is about pace.

02 / WEDGES / 10 MINUTES

Know your landing spot.

Choose where the ball should land before deciding how high to hit it.

1. On a practice area, choose a landing spot a few metres onto the green. Use a small marker where permitted, clear of other players.
2. Take one wedge and make a few short, relaxed swings. Keep the same club and landing spot for five balls so you can compare results.
3. Watch both the first bounce and the rollout. Move the landing target, or try a less-lofted club, when you have more green to work with.
4. Finish by changing the target for every ball. Take your usual pre-shot routine and treat each shot as one chance, rather than correcting with a second ball.

Record what each club does on that surface. Green speed and the lie change how much a chip rolls.

03 / TEE SHOTS / 10 MINUTES

Pick a fairway. Commit.

Make accuracy visible, rather than judging every swing by distance.

1. Choose two range landmarks to represent the left and right edges of a generous fairway. Pick one starting target between them.
2. Warm up with a few easy swings, then hit ten balls using your normal routine. Choose a tempo you can finish in balance.
3. Count how many finish inside your imagined fairway. Note the common miss—left or right—without trying to change several swing movements at once.
4. For the last few balls, change the target each time. If a driver feels inconsistent, repeat with a club you trust and compare the results.

Track balls in play before chasing extra distance. A consistent routine gives you a more useful comparison between sessions.
