What Can I Do To Improve My Game?
I shoot anywhere from a 77-83 when I golf. My strong assests are long and straight off the tee and the ability to shape shots with my irons(fade-draw, punch, lob). However, my short game is very up and down. Some days I can have under 30 putts and others I’ll go well over 36, Any tips on how to improve my short games, especially chipping and lag putting.
Use all shoulders and pendulum for fringe or greens. For all short game shots from pitches to putts, keep your wrists relaxed but as if they were locked. This will improve consistency greatly. I use the triangle (keeping my arms in the same position at all times and using rotation/shoulders) for short game and all my shots actually, though it is not really necessary and I wouldn’t disturb your long game. Another tip for long, big-breaking putts: read the overall green and then at the angles of the breaks (the tangents to the curve), so you can see it all the way to the hole. I am a 3 handicap by the way, and the wrists are your best bet, with pendulum emphasis for putting.
