Address: Align the clubface where you want the ball to go.

 

Swing thought: Freely swing the clubhead.

 

Survive The First-tee Jitters

 

Which affects consistency and accuracy, Nervousness makes you speed up your tempo . Swing your driver smoothly, like you want to hit it only 100 yards.

 

Make More Tough Short Putts

Take More Club on Par 3s

Score Lower on Par 5s

 

Your favorite yardage into the green and make the last shot. Subtract that yardage, then divide the difference by two. You’re hitting lofted clubs that are easier to hit and more accurate and use this strategy .

 

Letting the sand “splash” the ball out, good greenside bunker players accelerate the clubhead through the shot . Set up with the face of your sand wedge slightly open, the ball slightly forward in your stance. Hit the sand behind the ball, and finish your swing like you’re hitting a full 5-iron.

 

Chip with Your Putting Stroke

 

Take a lofted club like a 7-, 8- or 9-iron and grip it like your putter  to avoid chunking or skulling your chip shots. For a slightly descending blow, lean the shaft and your body toward the target . Make your putting stroke, allowing the loft of the club to carry the ball over the unpredictable turf onto the green.

 

Get Your Irons Airborne
