As an average golfer, I need constant reminders about all aspects of the game to make improvement. I also know that the short game is always what makes or breaks your game for the most part. Getting to the green sometimes seems easy and after that the challenge begins. I recently played a difficult par four hole and was just off the green in two after putting together two nice shots. My pitch shot was over the green (3), next pitch was on but well past the flag (4) and then proceeded to three put for a seven!!! Sound familiar? Well, this would never have happened if my first pitch shot was accurate and near the pin. That pitch shot on to the green is one of the most important shots most days. Here’s a video that talks about a drill to help avoid those disasters around the green. I think I ‘ll watch this one often. Happy golfing from this average golfer!
