Short Game

Shots around the green are critical to lower scores but it sometimes gets overlooked during the instruction process.  I have experience in knowing how to make improvements around the green simple.  I have the expertise and knowledge base that can help advanced players take their game to the next level.

Visualize the shot

Pick a landing spot

Pick a club and trajectory

Make great contact

"I chipped it in from 25/30 yards. And this was only my first time out this year.  Last year I don’t believe I chipped one in once."

Learning the basics:

  • How to set up on shorter shots
  • Swing basics to create consistent contact which allows you to learn distance control
  • Club selection and adjustments for when more loft and height on the shot is needed

Mid-Handicap Golfers:

  • Lets evaluate what you are already doing well for your standard short shots and only adjust the mechanics that are causing problems
  • Discuss what clubs you should and shouldn't be using with your improved technique and contact
  • Build confidence with lofted shots
  • Get out of the bunker every time...learning proper lofted pitch mechanics will make this process easier than you think

Low Handicap Players:

  • Make sure the mechanics are very efficient and repeatable
  • Work on shots that give you trouble
  • Evaluate statistics to better understand what to be practicing
  • Spend time on how to practice and train for performance
  • Advance wedge fitting and gapping
