Lowering my handicap, bettering my game...I've hit a brick wall.

Mill give you some advice that works for me regarding playing from 100 yards and in. Hopefully I can explain clearly. First of all, no shots from 100 in are 'full' shots. I prefer to spend significant time chipping the ball (getting good at that) and expanding my chip swing into a pitch swing and then expanding my pitch swing into a long pitch swing. I find it easier to scale my short game using, basically,chipping as the baseline--as opposed to trying to scale back my full swings to make shots go a shorter distance. Make sense?

this is great advice, once you get good at chipping right off the green it becomes easier than long putting. I'd rather be right off the green able to chip than have a 30yard putt.
