Dave Pelz is one of the best golf instructors in the world, and he invented a short game and putting game to test, and score, your short game skills to gauge progress and improvement. I was given this during one of his short game clinics in Atlanta and have been using it to quantify my improvements.
If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it



Here are some of my scores from the Short Game Test:
