Turning Missed Greens into Pars
The short game (shots inside 50 yards) is the ultimate scoring equalizer. Even the best players in the world miss greens. The difference lies in their ability to chip or pitch the ball close enough to save par. Short game coaching demystifies contact issues (chunking and thinning) by focusing on how the bounce of the club interacts with the turf.
Skills Covered in this Program
- Chipping vs Pitching: Understanding when to keep the ball low and running, versus high and soft.
- Using the Bounce: Learning how to expose the sole of the wedge to prevent digging into the turf.
- Bunker Play: Developing the technique to splash the sand and escape bunkers consistently.
- Lie Evaluation: Adjusting technique based on tight lies, thick rough, or uphill/downhill slopes.
Practice Considerations
Short game practice should be highly creative. We focus on games and challenges rather than repetitive block practice, simulating the pressure and variety of lies you will face on the course.
