Are You Using the Wrong Club?
One of the biggest mistakes golfers make is using the wrong club.
You will have better short game, have more fun, & lower your score
if you stick to one club for each a specific shot. Pick one & stick to
it.
For example, if you are confident using a 7 iron whenever hitting the
ball from 15 yards, use it. You may have read that an amateur or pro
golfer prefers another club when facing the same distance. Or, you
may have seen a golf training video which stresses the use of a
different iron.
That doesn't mean you have to follow their advice. Stick to what
works, for you!
I'll give you a perfect example. Whenever Tiger Woods is facing a
shot from anywhere around the green, he usually uses his 60 degree
wedge. He doesn't try to use several wedges.
He sticks to what works for Tiger. He is capable of using his 60
degree wedge to hit a flop shot that goes 25 feet.
He can also use the same wedge to hit a shot that travels 60 feet by
adjusting his technique. Why? Because he is most comfortable with
that particular club.
Short game success has just as much to do with your confidence &
comfort levels as it does with technique & shot specifics.
In time, you will find what is called your "go to" club when playing
through a specific shot. And when practicing your short game, those
practice sessions should be focused around this club in order to
improve at the fastest rate possible.
Short Game: Putting, Pitch Shots, & Bunker
Shots
How would you like to learn a few simple tricks that will lower your
score by dealing with bunkers and more?
Following the next few tips. Practice each one for only a few
minutes each day. If you do so, you should see strokes start dropping
from your scorecard.
A. Putting
The next time you watch a golf tournament, take notice of the
number of putts that are taken during the first nine holes as
compared to the last nine.
You will notice that they are far less. This is because by the time
they reached the second half of the golf course, the players
developed a feel for the green.
The key to maximizing your puts are to clear your head of all
technical matters and just go for the stroke. By not thinking about
the mechanics of putting, you have a better chance of making the
hole.
B. Pitch Shots
When it's time to make a pitch shot, choose either a lob wedge,
pitching wedge, or a sand wedge. Remember that a pitch is supposed
to have the maximum amount of air time possible, with the least
amount of roll time.
The chip shot is just the opposite.
If your technique is off even just a bit, it is difficult to create the
perfect amount of air travel for your pitch shot. By following
through low to the ground, you will undoubtedly achieve maximum
air time with the ball.
By following through high after impact, the ball has no choice but to
be hit on the upswing, which results in a skull or top shot.
C. Bunker Shots
When playing inside the bunker, treat your backswing just like you would a full swing when using your driver. When your ball lands in
the sand pit, you must be able to knock it clear out of the hazard area
in one shot.
With proper technique, your shot will become regularly successful.
The key is to only use the necessary amount of strength needed,
while still giving it a hard swing.
First, you have to set up properly. Put 80% of your total weight on
your front foot.
The grip end of your golf club should be pointing towards your belt
buckle. When it is time to swing, keep the majority of your weight
on your front foot as this helps keep the swing coming in, down
toward the ground. Then just focus your energy through the ball and
out of the bunker....
