Give every wedge shot a job.
A good short-game drill needs a target, a shot you can repeat, and a simple way to record the result. You can use these sessions without Golf Locker or a launch monitor.
Drill 1: landing-spot ladder
Goal: control where the ball first lands, not just where it finally stops.
Setup: choose three safe, clearly marked landing zones at increasing distances. Use a practice area that permits short shots.
Practice: hit three balls to each zone, working near to far. Then change the order so each shot requires a new decision.
Measure: record how many of nine land in their intended zone. Repeat on another day to compare consistency.
Drill 2: three-flight challenge
Goal: explore how different trajectories change carry and rollout.
Setup: choose one appropriate target area. If you can safely vary the flight, attempt a lower, medium and higher shot with similar landing intent.
Measure: note whether the intended flight was achieved and where each ball finished. Avoid forcing shots that are beyond your present skill or unsuitable for the lie.
Drill 3: one-ball up-and-down
Goal: connect wedge performance to actual scoring.
Setup: choose a safe starting lie and a hole or practice target.
Practice: play one wedge shot and one or more putts to finish. Reset from a different lie rather than repeatedly hitting the same chip.
Measure: record how often you finish in two strokes or fewer and what made each attempt difficult.
Make your drills more useful
Change only one challenge at a time: landing distance, lie, target, or club. Write down the common miss, then choose the next drill according to that observation. Free drills can be useful to everyone; a future Golf Locker plan will help organize them around your personal evaluation.
