Hit Crisp Short Game Shots

Today I had a long conversation with one of the members of the golf club I work about how to eliminate the ‘fat’ shots from his short game.

Execute a Flop Shot

First of all, do not ever hit a flop shot unless it is your last and only option to get the ball near the hole.

If there is any way to run the ball up to and on the green I would suggest hitting a chip or pitch shot.

Distance is by far the more important of the two because it can control the direction you need to hit the putt to find the optimum line. For example, if you hit a putt that is traveling toward the hole at a fast pace, you would have needed to pick a direction that takes less break into consideration. Read The Full Article
