Did you know that in a typical round of golf, about 70% of the shots you play are ... within 30 yards of the hole? As Titleist staff member Skip Guss, owner of GolfRite in Southborough, Massachusetts, shares in this video, the quickest way to shoot better scores and lower your handicap is to improve your skills on these short greenside shots.

To find out how strong or weak your short game is, Skip demonstrates a quick 9-shot assessment that you can use to see how your short game stacks up. This random-shot drill is a great addition to your practice routine that will highlight your current strengths, as well as those areas in your putting and wedge game that could use a little more attention.

Go through Skip's short game assessment yourself and take a first, intelligent step towards improving your ability to get the ball up-and-down.
