The fastest way to reduce your scores is to improve your short game!!!
That holds true if you are a new golfer or a low handicap golfer. Physically there is no reason why your short game can’t be as good as Rory Mcillroys! While that might not be true for the driver swing, it certainly is for shots around the green.
70% of your shots will be played around the green. For most amateur golfers, finding time to practice is not easy. With that being the case, think about focusing on the least physically taxing aspect to practice, yet, the most productive in terms of scoring results.
Work and an investment in the time you have, learning and developing the right technique, correct club, correct shot choice, and strategy will lower your scores, GUARANTEED!
Here at Formby Hall, we have a superb short game area and par 3 course, where I can teach you the techniques, often different from long game principles, to set you on your way to winning golf!
As a competitive Pro competing in the 80’s and early 90’s I was only ever an average short game player. The frustration I felt at my lack of confidence, despite copious practice, has led ne on a search for improved short game understanding.
The method I will show you has improved my chipping, to the point where I look forward to awkward chips, as opposed to dreading them.
I can show you how to build a margin for error into your technique and build your confidence.
Measuring your short game proficiency?
I use a number of systems to asses your short gane. One from a set number of points around the green, to measure your results, progress or lack of. By using a scoring system I can compare your short game results to both World-class male and female tour pros.
The other system I use covers distance wedges, bunkers, chipping, pitching and putting. This performance game is a favourite of Colin Morikawa. This provides us with a baseline, to measure progress against.
This data is invaluable and can prove a real eye-opener to low handicap golfers who blame their failure to reduce their handicap further, on long game shots.
Ultimately, we can combine your overall results and give you in effect, a short game handicap. This may prove higher or lower than your official handicap and shines a light firmly on what you really need to concentrate on.
