Re: Short Game woes

Hi Scotty,

I have been taught a shot over the last few months that has changed my 100yds in accuracy 100% better.

I can hit 100yds with my 52 degree no problem however I was taught to take a pitching wedge sand with feet about six inches apart and slightly open. Swing shorter back comming through holding the clubface open.

Two thing happen...........standing with the feet closer together helps with a steeper attack, hence no thins of fats.
Holding the face open improves accuracy, turning the wrists over is difficult to control.

It exactly the same for chipping.


Hope this helps


Ian.
