Gimies Short Game Edition

Tired of aimless short game practice? The Gimies Short Game Edition transforms your sessions into focused, fun, and highly effective training for your chipping, pitching, and flop shots. Get ready to develop the touch and control that saves strokes on the course!

How to Play

Using your Gimies cube is simple, helping you quickly set up dynamic practice scenarios:

1. Set Up Your Targets: Begin by placing 3-4 distinct targets across your practice area. Vary their distances, stretching them out up to 50 yards (or paces), to simulate diverse on-course situations. Cones, flags, or even old towels work perfectly as targets.
2. Roll Your Gimies Cube: Once your targets are set, roll your Gimies cube. Each face will dictate a specific short game challenge: either a Low Chip, Mid Pitch, or High Flop. This introduces variety and keeps every practice session fresh.
3. Execute Your Shots: For the challenge revealed, hit 4 shots. Focus on successfully executing the required shot type towards your targets, making sure to alternate your aim with each shot. This simulates real-game scenarios where you’re not always hitting to the same spot.
4. Complete All Challenges: Your practice session is complete when you’ve successfully practiced all three fundamental short game challenges (Low Chip, Mid Pitch, and High Flop) presented by the Gimies cube. This ensures you’re developing a well-rounded short game.

The Challenges: Your Pathway to Short Game Mastery

Each roll focuses on a critical shot, helping you refine your technique and develop essential feel around the greens:

• Low Chip (8 or 9 Iron):
  • The Shot: This is a controlled, low-flying chip designed to land on the green quickly and run out towards the hole. It’s perfect for getting the ball rolling with minimal airtime.
  • Key Tip: Adopt a light grip for a sensitive touch, allowing the club to glide through the turf.
• Mid Pitch (Pitching Wedge or Gap Wedge):
  • The Shot: Your standard go-to pitch shot. It has a balanced flight and reliable stop, making it versatile for many short game situations where you need some airtime but still want control.
  • Key Tip: Maintain a very light grip pressure for ultimate feel and control over the clubface.
• High Flop (Lofted Wedge):
  • The Shot: A high-arching shot designed to land softly with minimal roll. This is essential for carrying hazards (like bunkers or water) or navigating tricky lies where you need to get the ball up quickly.
  • Key Tip: Use a light grip to help keep the clubface open and maximize the loft, allowing the ball to climb quickly.

By integrating Gimies into your short game practice, you’ll naturally develop crucial feel and control. This guided, varied approach also helps to make your practice truly fun and effective!

Gimies Long Game Edition

Ready to take full control of your ball flight and elevate your course management? The Gimies Long Game Edition is the perfect tool for experienced golfers looking to master shot shaping and trajectory control. Transform your practice sessions from repetitive drills into targeted, skill-building challenges.

How to Play

Using your Gimies cube for long game practice is straightforward, allowing you to focus on execution and improvement:

1. Choose Your Iron: To begin, select your preferred mid or long iron (for example, a 6-iron or a 4-iron). These clubs are ideal for practicing various ball flights and swing lengths.
2. Roll Your Gimies Cube: Give your Gimies cube a roll. Each face will present you with a new, dynamic Long Game challenge. This ensures variety and keeps your mind engaged throughout your practice.
3. Execute Your Shots: For each challenge the cube reveals, you’ll hit four shots. Your primary focus here is to successfully execute the required shot shape or trajectory towards your chosen target. Concentrate on committing to the shot and visualizing the ball flight.
4. Complete All Challenges: To truly achieve “shotmaking mastery” and get the most comprehensive practice, strive to successfully complete all six challenges presented by the Gimies cube. Work through every outcome on the die to develop a well-rounded long game.

The Challenges: Your Path to Shotmaking Mastery

The Gimies cube will challenge you to control your ball flight in distinct ways. Commit to each shot and visualize it flying precisely towards your target!

• Draw:
  • The Shot: Practice hitting a shot that curves gently from right-to-left for right-handed golfers. This shot is great for navigating doglegs or adding extra distance.
  • (Left-handed golfers: Practice a gentle Fade, curving left-to-right).
• Fade:
  • The Shot: Focus on hitting a shot that curves gently from left-to-right for right-handed golfers. A fade can help you avoid trouble on certain holes or hold greens more effectively.
  • (Left-handed golfers: Practice a gentle Draw, curving right-to-left).
• High:
  • The Shot: Concentrate on hitting a shot with a significantly higher trajectory than your standard ball flight for that specific club. This is useful for carrying hazards or landing the ball softly on the green.
• Low:
  • The Shot: Aim for a lower, more penetrating trajectory. This shot is designed to stay under the wind, maximize roll-out, or escape from under tree branches.
• 3/4 Swing:
  • The Shot: Practice hitting shots using a controlled, three-quarter backswing and follow-through. The emphasis here is on accuracy and consistent distance control, not maximum power. It’s a key shot for precision play.
• 1/2 Swing:
  • The Shot: Work on hitting shots using an even shorter, half-swing. This is ideal for highly controlled lay-ups, punching out from trouble, or playing precise approach shots where full power isn’t needed.

By integrating the Gimies Long Game Edition into your routine, you’ll actively enhance your shot control by mastering various ball flights. You’ll also improve your feel and rhythm by practicing with different swing lengths, keeping your practice engaging and directly applicable to your on-course performance!

   • Quick Tip: For easy measurement on the green, remember that 1 foot is approximately equal to one of your footprints. This can help you quickly set up distances without needing a tape measure.

The Games: Your Path to Skill Mastery

Here’s a breakdown of each dynamic game, designed to sharpen your focus and enhance your feel around the greens:

• Scatter Ball: This game tests your precision under pressure.
  • Objective: Try to hole one of four randomly scattered balls. Keep repeating the set of four balls until you successfully sink one.
  • Flexibility: You have the option to chip from the green’s perimeter instead of putting, adding another layer of challenge.
• Pocket Money: A fun, competitive game to improve your short-range scoring.
  • Objective: Chip or putt four balls from 12-20 feet. You start with a virtual £1.
  • Scoring:
    • Holed Putt: Double your virtual money (add £1 to your total).
    • Within 1 foot: Add 10p to your total.
    • Outside 1 foot: Deduct 10p from your total.
• Leap Frog: Focuses purely on refining your distance control.
  • Objective: With four balls placed 12-20 feet away, putt or chip each ball sequentially. Your goal is for each ball to land just past the previous one, beyond a designated marker.
  • Flexibility: Similar to Scatter Ball, you can opt to chip from the green’s perimeter for a varied challenge.
• Ladder: This drill builds confidence and consistency under pressure.
  • Objective: Hole out in sequence from increasing distances: starting at 4 feet, then 8 feet, 12 feet, and finally 20 feet.
  • Rule: If you miss any putt in the sequence, you must go back to the start (the 4-foot putt) and begin again! This simulates real course pressure.
• Triple Chips: Develops your feel for different lofted clubs around the green.
  • Objective: Chip three balls from off the green to the same hole, using three different lofts (e.g., your 8-iron, pitching wedge, and lob wedge). You must hole out each ball before moving on to strike the next in your sequence.
• Par 18: Simulates a mini golf course to test your all-around short game.
  • Objective: Play nine random “mini-holes,” each considered a Par 2. Use one ball and your chosen wedge or putter.
  • Scoring:
    • Chip & Putt: This is considered Par (2 strokes).
    • Chip In: This is a Birdie (1 under Par, meaning 1 stroke).
  • Tracking: Keep track of your total strokes for the nine holes and see if you can beat your previous score!
