The 3 Parts

150 points. One honest score.

Each section is worth 50 points. Score yourself, see your level, know what to practice first.

Putting
50 pts

3, 5, 10, 20 & 30 ft. 10 balls each. Make them or get them inside the circle.

Chipping
50 pts

20 to 60 ft. Base chip — finish every ball inside 5 feet.

Range
50 pts

Full swing only. PW through Driver. Stay inside your shot window.

Why most golfers don't know their real level.

Your handicap measures your scoring on a course. It doesn't tell you where your game is breaking down. The Skills Test measures the actual shots — so you finally know where you stand and what to work on first.
