Fewer shots from 50 yards and in.
Chipping, pitching and bunker play technique. Understanding the “short game”.
On in three. Off with a six.
I chip it thin across the green, then fat into the fringe.
I’m scared of bunkers.
From 40 yards I never know how hard to hit it.
I get to the green in three and walk off with a six.
Distance control, measured.
Trackman shows how each short shot flies and lands, so you learn the distance for each swing.
How high the ball starts. It changes with the club, the set-up and the strike.
How fast the ball spins. More spin stops the ball sooner on the green.
How far the ball flies before it lands. Good distance control starts here.
How steeply the ball comes down. A steeper landing stops the ball quicker.
Your stock shot, and when to use it.
The short game is arguably the most important area of the game. Improve your short game and improve your ability to score better. Understanding what your “stock” technique will produce with each club and when it is appropriate. As well as more advanced techniques for higher tariff shots.

Can I work on bunkers indoors?
Bunker play is best outdoors, in summer at Hallowes. Indoors, we work on chips and pitches with Trackman.
Is there a short-game clinic?
Yes, in summer at Hallowes. See groups and short-game clinics.
Which wedge should I use?
We find out in the lesson. Most golfers do better with one club they know well than with three they don’t.
