Chipping and hitting golfballs in my backyard, helping my game?

Question

Ok, so i live on a farm, and i hit golfballs into my feild, picking diffrent landing spots. I also practice my chips and pitches. Is this helping my game by practicing at home?

Answer 1

yes, its all about feel and being able to repeat. You should work on trajectory also, because sometimes u must flop it, lob it or pitch it. Spin rate is important for control. You can get wiffle balls for your long shots, which should give you feedback on hooks or slices

Answer 2

as long as your practicing a good swing, if your swing is wrong and u keep practicing, your just imbedding a bad habit into your muscle memory

Answer 3

Yes, It is definatly helping.

Maybe get a few chipping nets an practice chipping into them. Really Helps accuracy.

Answer 4

Not only is it helping your game, it probably is helping it tremendously. Practicing the short game every chance you get is a very, very good thing.

Answer 5

Yes it is. You should practice as much as you can no matter where you are.

Answer 6

Yes it will help you, but try to stick with your wedges and short game shots. I love having short game target competitions in the yard with my brother and dad, and it clearly helps me on the course with shots from the rough. Unless you mow your lawn to half an inch, do not expect to be able to replicate fairways or tee boxes. Keep on workin but stick with your wedges and short game. Hit 'em solid.

Answer 7

yes I'm sure it will I'm a golfer my self for 13 years and I should know a thing or 2 about golfing.
