Clock Your Wedge Distance

Playing golf in Pennsylvania has gotten off to a slow start as the weather hasn’t been very good. I did get in a few rounds at the Scranton Muni course and also a round at a course called Panorama. More on those courses in a later post. For now, it seems that I practice more than I play since leaving the wonderful golf mecca of Pinehurst, North Carolina! I’ll be back there in late June for summer golf which isn’t that far off. You can never practice the short game enough and for me, getting the right distance on the wedge is sometimes a challenge. I’m either short of the green or over past the flag. Here’s a video from the Golf Academy to help with the wedge distance. Happy golfing from this average golfer!

Hit The Low Wedge Shot

This average golfer is still being kept away from the links here in the Northeast due to the frigid weather we are experiencing. However, the coming week looks like it might be good for getting out finally! Oh how I am envious of my golfing friends in Pinehurst! In the meantime, all I can do is keep working on some drills to help make up for the lack of time on the course that will make me rusty. Here’s a nice video from The Golf Academy on hitting that low wedge shot to the green. Happy golfing from this average golfer!

Working On the Partial Wedge Shot

While I have been off of the golf courses here in Pinehurst waiting out the weather, my focus has been on the short game. Everyone in golf knows that this is where you score…but, we also know you are supposed to keep your head down, but it doesn’t always happen. So, the more I can focus on the short game the more chance I have of improving. This video clip talks about controlling the partial wedge shot and has some good pointers. Happy golfing from this average golfer!
