| 3 steps to a better Short game! This is my entry Tip
The short game - perhaps the most important phase of going through a golf hole.
Controlling the distance of the ball is essential to getting into scoring position and avoiding hazards. To do this here is my tip. It's a simple 3 step process to gaining better distance control and improving how quick you get up on the green in scoring position.
Take a wedge, it can be any loft of your choice but ONLY ONE WEDGE NOT MULTIPLE LOFTS. Step 1) Take your wedge and go to a range and hit 10 balls to the 100 yard marker. Then hit 10 balls to the 50 yard marker. Step 2) hit 10 balls in between the 100 and 50 yard aiming to hit them at 75 yards then hit another 10 to the 25 yard area. Finally, Step 3) Hit one ball to the 100, one ball to the 75, 1 ball to the 50 and one ball to the 25.
This typically takes about a half hour and once you go through the entire exercises you begin to get a feel for distance control as well as starting to feel exactly how much back-swing yields how much distance.
**Doing this with only one club solidifies that Loft degree angle isn't affecting the distance but it's actually only the Golfer generating the ball distance - NOT the club.
that's my tip to a better short game!
