In this weeks Bogey Blog our resident Pro, Josh Oddy, is going to show us how to improve your touch around the greens!
There is nothing worse than being short sided around a green. We've all been there. A bunker between the ball & the flag, and all you can think about is duffing it 2 yards in front of you before thinning your next and walking off with an 8. Well next time your in that spot, remember these tips...
To execute the high soft chip shot, we need to do a few things differently to the conventional chip:
1. Open the club face. This is going to increase the loft, and allow the ball to pop up in the air.
2. Lower the handle. Very important to get this correct in your setup. Lowering the handle will help to shallow your swing path, and stop the ball shooting out right.
3. Maintain the loft. Through the swing you need to feel like you are maintaining the loft created by opening the face. You don't want to let your hands rotate through impact. The clubface should be almost pointing back at you after you've hit the ball
Give these simple tips a try, and you'll become a short game wizard.
