How to Track Progress During Short Game Practice

Track the thing you can act on

Progress in short game practice should be visible in a repeatable test. Use proximity, pass-fail targets, up-and-down results, or a pressure score tied to landing spots, rough lies, bunker exits, and the putt after the chip.

Putting it in focus

Short-game practice improves faster when you remember more than the one chip you holed. FocusGolf can track practice history from a Wear OS, Apple Watch, or Garmin watch, giving you a record of sessions, shot patterns, and progress trends without extra hardware. Pair those notes with your landing-spot tests, and the next session can start with the lie or distance that actually gave you trouble.
