Short Game – Chipping and Pitching – session
September 15, 2009 by admin
The overview for this section is that you have to get it into your head that… this is what you build your game on. The pros know that up to 80% of your practice time should be on the short game. There are so many benefits to this improvement route I don’t know where to begin. Bottom line, when you have a stellar up and down game, you can beat anyone regardless of how far they hit. Sam Snead didn’t call Paul Runyon “little poison” because he was long off the tee. Paul, at 5′ 7″ beat him often by wizardry around the greens.
You probably already know the fundamentals of the short game as a serious player so I am not going to do much with that. What we can improve on is to create that state that allows your creativity to come out and then a trusting mindset around this part of the game.
A genuine love of the challenge of the short game is also going to motivate you to want to practice more and everywhere. Working on your short game in your house, your backyard, your garage all will make you really good friends with your wedges.
Tiger, Phil, and the rest are known for their creativity around the greens. You have that too but you must allow the right side of your brain to come alive when playing these shots.
The second major key is to use the left side of your brain to make the smart, strategic decision and keep the odds in your favor for a perfect shot. The fact is, this is one of the few parts of the game where your
decision-making process plays the greatest part of your success with the shot. And you always want to have SCORING LOWER as your number one priority. This boils down to choosing the high percentage shots most of the time…which means, keeping the ball as low as you can.
Every time you see the “W” on any of your wedges, you are going to think of it standing for “WIN” from now on.
Go get ‘em.
