Someone told me a while back about a Pitch and Play course, to practice partial pitch shots on. I think it may have been @pakalolo77 but I'm not sure.
I can't find where that was posted, so if you told me, could you put it again here? Also any tips on how to partial pitch are needed. You guys helped my putting immensely, so thats the next step!

No problem Josia  The two I practice the most are Turnberry Wee Links (RCR 18 hole pitch and putt) and Shamrock Pitch & Putt. Both are great for learning the pitch shot and partial wedges. The thing I like the most is you will learn all your distances from a perfect (100%) lie on these two. A good thing that Paul brought up about practicing on the practice green in game, is that you can then adjust for different lies in the rough/heavy rough. Along with auto mulligan on, you can repeatedly hit the same shot and distance. This is where the time spent along with learning from trial and error from your own pitch shots creates feel for certain shots in my opinion. Having shot feedback on is a must as you can learn to hone in perfect tempo with the pitch shot. As for certain tips on the partial pitch, maybe hammers1man or anyone else could chime in, in regards to explanation of technique. For me, when I have shot feedback/yardage on for my shots. I'll take a certain swing with the pitch and watch for carry distance. It may need more/less backswing or even a different wedge. But to start out, I'd stick to your LW and learn that as upping the club will also introduce more rollout if that makes sense. Great to hear that you are improving each part of your game Josia. Lots of time and effort go into getting better and the fun part is seeing it come together on the course!  |

Another pitch and putt course to add to the list. TPC Oakwind (Short Game) was ported and published by joegolferg. My absolute go to for short game practice in 2019. They are set to 187 greens, so now you can set to USE tournament green speeds to adjust before playing. If you want some pitch and flop shot practice this is the one. Really reminds me of the pitch and putt next to the parking lot of Pebble Beach in Monterey. Will be playing this quite a lot 😁
