3-Wood To Chip

When just off the green try your 3-wood to get a little air and a lot of roll

Impact When Putting

The inches on either side of the ball are the most important in golf; your clubface must be square in that area and constantly accelerating

Short Shot Variations

Be more creative around the green by practicing different clubs and shots to the same pin location to improve your short game

View All Golf Tip Videos

Chip Shots From the Fringe

Keep your body still in the shot and play it like a putt no matter what club you use

Learning Impact Position

Start your practice session by feeling your impact position, make swings that stop at impact and feel the correct position of your hips, legs and arms

Pine Needle Lies

Play a shot on pine needles two ways depending on where the flag is, if you have room to roll it play it like a chip but if the flag is close then set up to play it identical to a bunker shot

Par Four and Five Tee Club Selection

Do not assume that every par four and five is a driver, you need to tee off with the club that is going to leave your next shot in your favorite scoring position, hitting your tee shot too long often hurts your scores

Flexibility

Flexibility as you get older is very important, it lets you wind up your body to hit the ball with more power, and swinging a pole can help you do this as well as fix your release point
