Short Game

Posted by Todd Mann | 10/16/2009

Golf's short game is deceptively difficult and separates good players from the rest. 300 plus yard drives are amazing and beautiful to watch but are meaningless unless such a drive can be followed up with eagles, birdies or even par. Learning to become a great short game player is a matter of focus and practice.

Putting
Start making more pars and birdies by holing more putts. You will attempt more putts than any other type of swing during a round of golf and therefore putting should be the most often practiced swing. Improve your putting game with the following quick instructions.


Chipping
The chip shot is an important part of playing golf. Even the best players in the world miss the green. Developing a solid chipping stroke is a valuable, score-saving golf technique.
Pitching
Pitching the ball close to the hole is one of the most challenging assignments of the game.

Short Irons
The bread and butter to consistent scoring is being able to stick short irons close to the hole for birdie opportunities. Find helpful tips to better short iron play.
