Hitting Wedge Shots Close To The Hole

Most high handicappers hit wedge shots high into the air and hope they come down close to the hole.

A better way to hit accurate wedge shots is to choke down on the grip a bit and make a shorter back swing. Then accelerate through the ball and finish with the club head low in front of you and not high up or over your shoulder.

You will get a shot that flies low out of the wind, heads straight to the target and stops quickly. Go to the range and practice to see how far you hit this shot, and then watch your scores come down on the course.
