Lower your golf score with speciality shots and a good technique

A good short game is essential if you want to lower your golf score. During golf school we teach all phases of the short game; pitching from 10 to 30 yards out, bunkers and the precarious lies, chipping from around the green, flop shots with a sand wedge, the mechanics of putting and specialty shots that are designed to cut strokes off your game. Remember, every swing counts as 1 stroke even a 2 foot putt.

There are many variables that will determine the type of shot you choose to execute around or on the green:

• wet or dry grass
• hard or soft sand
• speed and grain of green
• fluffy or tight lie
• into or down wind

And so many techniques one can use:

• open or closed stance
• regular or putting grip
• club selection
• length of swing
• high or low trajectory

We'll teach you:

• The rhythmic flop shot need to carry the ball over water and sand from about 10 to 40 yards out.
• The ever dreaded bunker shot, executed by hitting the sand first, not the ball directly.
• The elusive mechanics of putting, requiring good technique, concentration and a lot of practice.
• The secrets of chipping, dictated by conditions and club selection.
