THE SHORT-GAME - 5min 8sec

The art of getting up-and-down - This part of the game like the full swing falls into two parts. Firstly, good mechanics which enables us to get a clean hit on the ball. With chipping and pitching, it allows that all important ball turf strike. Then there is feel and touch. How far do I have to hit this shot; how far will it roll on landing and will it take any break.
In many ways, getting the swing mechanics right should be the easy bit. In the setup, the ball has to be positioned behind the centre point of the clubhead arc, the c7 vertebrae to allow a downward strike on the ball. We set the long narrow triangle for constant depth control and swing the club back and through gauging the length of swing to the required length of shot.
We have many ‘feel/touch’ drills that will improve everyone’s game on and around the green.
