Mini Pitch

Problem

You are near the green and want the ball to roll like a putt.

Cure

Try making a short pitch shot with one of your shorter irons.

Therapy

Depending on your distance you can select your 7 through 9 irons to make a short pitch. Deloft the club by keeping your hands ahead of the ball. Take an abbreviated backswing but use a full shoulder turn. Remember, the key to making the shot is to turn your chest towards the target after you make contact with the ball.
