Practice chipping by dropping balls in varied spots

For short-game practice, the guest says the best thing that helped him was to drop a ball in different spots around the green and learn to hit different shots by visualizing and getting creative. He might drop one behind the bunker, in the rough, buried down, or off a slope, and over time picks up ways to manipulate the clubface and the ball's spin. He adds that once your impact is down, there's really no reason you can't hit a pretty solid chip.
