So you are lining up left of your target but the face of the club is square to the target or open to the club path correct? Thanks!

Liked this tip. I have a tendency to hit "fat" irons and therefore very inconsistent with my distance control. I never know which iron I should use to try and get onto the green in regulation. Another tip I recently heard was to keep lead elbow pointing towards the ground on my take-away that seemed to help me also.

I thought you would stand a little closer to the ball to get the shaft more upright and keep the flight down. Is standing a little closer to the ball a good thing?

Beautiful shot.

How far does the ball stay low when say using a 6 iron? And, can you use a hybrid 5?

John, thanks! I have trouble understanding where to aim the club face on a draw or fade. Turn the feet, but then hit towards the target?

What is the distance cut-off on the green? When to chip and when to put?
