Shot-selection awareness

5 pairs.
Beginner
Why this drill
Build two distinct short-game shots so the lie and the green can decide which to use.
Setup
One target, two stations: a low runner and a high, soft shot.
How to perform it
- 1Alternate the two shots to the same hole, changing loft and face condition rather than swing effort.
Key feel
Runner stays low with a quiet face; the soft shot uses loft and bounce.
Success cue
Two clearly different trajectories that both finish near the hole.
Recommended reps
5 pairs.
Progression
Have a partner or a coin flip choose the shot.
Common mistake
Reaching for the highest shot when the runner is easier.
