What is the distance cut-off on the green? When to chip and when to put?
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?
How far does the ball stay low when say using a 6 iron? And, can you use a hybrid 5?
Beautiful shot.
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?
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.
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!
