Short Game

Explore Short Game

  • Hitting bombs off the tee right down the middle is undoubtedly a great feeling. It's also a major advantage if you can pull that off consistently. However, for most amateur golfers, short game prowess plays a much more crucial role in improving their scores. The short game, which includes chipping, pitching, and bunker play, is one of the most essential areas in a strong golf game. These shots comprise a huge percentage of the total strokes you take during a round. Improving your short game can quickly and drastically lower your overall score, and you can do it by understanding the proper technique then putting in some work. Today, let's focus specifically on learning the chip shot.
