Putting Practice w/ Dustin Johnson
In a recent interview, Dustin Johnson revealed his practice habits and stated that he spends 80% of his practice time working on his wedges.
Scoring comes down to how well you handle the shots from 100 yards and in. The more you practice chipping and pitching, the more confidence you'll gain in your ability to control the distance and land the ball on the green where you want it to.
Start with this sample plan to break up your practice time and start seeing results in your golf game.
Assume a 2 hour practice time slot:
- Spend 5 minutes hitting iron shots with your 7,6,5 irons to warm up
- Spend 10 minutes hitting balls with your driver and woods, shaping different shots
- Spend 15 minutes hitting wedge shots with a half swing, controlling distance
- Spend 15 minutes hitting wedge shots with a full swing, controlling distance
- Spend 15 minutes hitting wedge shots with a max swing, controlling distance
- Spend 15 minutes hitting wedge shots with a 3/4 swing, controlling distance
- Spend 30 minutes working on 6-8 foot putts
- Spend the last 15 minutes working on lag putts (30+ feet away)
I promise you if you focus on this style of practice, you're going to see your wedge play get much better. And the times you screw up a lag putt or chip shot, leaving yourself 6-8 feet short of the hole, you'll feel confident putting and sink more putts to save par.

If you tried to book a Saturday morning tee time recently and found yourself staring at a screen that looked more like a sold-out Taylor Swift concert than a municipal golf course, you aren’t alone. According to a year-end message from the National Golf Foundation (NGF), more people are playing golf in more ways than at any time in recorded history. For the crusty veteran who misses the days of the four-hour round and empty fairways, this might sound like a nightmare. But for anyone who loves the vitality, future, and "cool factor" of our sport, we are officially living in the Golden Age of Golf. Here is what the numbers actually mean for your game, your wallet, and that lukewarm hot dog at the turn.
The calendar page is about to flip, and with it, the conversation that's been bubbling beneath the surface of the golf world is set to boil over: Tiger Woods turns 50 on December 30th. That golden birthday means a gold-plated invite to the PGA Tour Champions. As President of Imagen Golf, I've spent years analyzing swings, but with Tiger, we're not just looking at a swing—we're analyzing the DNA of a champion's competitive spirit, and that is where the real story lies.
Hello, I'm Daniel Guest from Imagen Golf, and today we're tackling a topic that chills many golfers: playing in the cold. It’s not just you; the cold weather fundamentally changes how your equipment—specifically the golf ball—performs, and that directly impacts your shot.1 Understanding these effects is the first step toward better cold-weather scoring.
