Golf Chipping

What are some things that I can do around the house to improve my chipping and putting?

I am going to try out for the golf team at my high school and only have a few days to practice before the tryout. The weather is bad so i can't practice at a golf course and the tryout is monday. what are some things i can do to improve my chipping and putting?

take a pillow...big one...and try chipping onto the pillow...dont worry if it rolls off..just try to use ur sand wedge or 9 iron from verious distances and drop that little ball right ontop of that pillow...do worry about back spin...you must learn to get on the green first...buy a putting cup of lay a plastic cup on the floor and start putting..it will be hard to play the breaks on a smooth carpet..but golfing isnt something learned over night

One of the better-known supporters of applying Zen philosophy to poker is two-time WSOP winner Howard "The Professor" Lederer, brother and coach of poker star Annie Duke. Lederer has a solid reputation in the poker world for his even temper and poise at the tables, along with his very successful approach to poker. Lederer credits Zen teachings with giving him a better understanding of poker, and he describes his journey towards poker mastery according to these four stages. Try to find which stage you are on, ponder on the respective proverb, and prepare for moving on to the next.

1. Beginner's Passion

"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, in the expert's there are few." Shunryu Suzuki

A beginner will play with great enthusiasm and little self-consciousness, making plenty of mistakes joyfully in the pursuit of this new passion for poker. Young Lederer was no exception: "When I was just starting to play the game, poker was all I wanted to do. I would play the game about 70 hours a week. But, I was not a student of the game." This early stage sets the bases for future learning, provided that the passion is a true one and not just a passing fad, and at some point the beginner will start craving instruction and go look for a book or a teacher to take him to the next stage.

2. The Student Emerges

"He is now forced to admit that he is at the mercy of everyone who is stronger, more nimble and more practiced than he." Eugen Herrigel

After a while the passion will be replaced by a more disciplined effort to learn, and at this point the poker novice will realize how little he or she knows, and will start to fear others who know more. Many have experienced this depression and frustration after reading their first poker book and understanding for the first time the daunting complexity of the game, and that includes Lederer himself: "I would study, but when I tried to apply that new found knowledge, I found myself almost paralyzed with too many conflicting thoughts". It is important not to become discouraged at this stage, and to take a systematic approach to acquiring and internalizing knowledge.

3. Expert Level is Achieved

"He who has a hundred miles to walk should reckon ninety as half the journey" Japanese Proverb

In the words of Lederer, "After years of study, a poker player can achieve expert status. If, however, she becomes satisfied in her success, then mastery will be forever beyond her reach." Achieving expert level is difficult, but breaching the apparently small gap between expert and master is just as difficult, because the expert player may become satisfied with his or her level of skill, and no longer has the overpowering passion of the first days.

4. Poker, One Hand at a Time

"If one really wishes to be master of an art, technical knowledge of it is not enough. One has to transcend technique so that the art becomes an 'artless art' growing out of the Unconscious" Daisetz T. Suzuki

A true master of any skill finally manages to internalize it so completely that he or she does no longer have to ponder what to do - the perfect action will come out naturally, in an unconscious manner. Years of learning and playing will eventually help create a true poker master, but in order to achieve this one must have great humility and desire to learn. Even a top player like Lederer [https://www.pokersourceonline.com/superstars/howard-lederer.asp] does not consider himself a master: "I have started to walk the last ten miles in my poker journey, and I am prepared for that walk to take me the rest of my life."
