You went to the wrong place, noproblemos. Instead of the range, take Ben's Chip, Pitch and Punch Shots to the Chipping and Pitching Greens.

Learn to hit these little shots crisply, firmly. From a slightly Open Alignment of the entire Body (not just the Stance), position your Head in the dead Center of your Stance and shift your Weight (Hips) slightly left. Your left quad should feel loaded. Set your Flying Wedges properly.

On the Backstroke, use your Right Forearm to take the Club up, back and in On Plane. Your Zone #1 Pivot Components (Feet, Knees, Hips and Shoulders) should support and assist this natural movement. On the Downstroke, with the Body Turn gently leading, use that same Right Forearm to Accelerate and Drive the #3 Pressure Point through Impact. That's Hitting. Alternatively, Swingers should allow the Turning Body to transfer its Momentum into the Accelerating Left Arm and Club and let Centrifugal Force do the work. Either way, keep the Action sharp and take a little Divot.

Hold your Follow-Through at Both Arms Straight. Look, look, LOOK and make sure your Left Wrist has remained Flat and your Right Wrist has remained Bent. Deliberately employ one of the three Hinge Actions and verify that you executed it correctly. Make sure the Clubhead has remained beneath the Hands. Learn to make that Sand Wedge talk: Chip Shots, Pitch and Runs, Cut Shots, Lob Shots, Low Flying Spinners.

Do this 10,000 times -- I am not exaggerating that number -- and then let us know how it's going.

Recipe for becoming a PLAYER!!!!!!!

Great post YODA,
