Short Punch

Problem

You need to accurately lay-up your tee shot.

Cure

Try an abbreviated punch shot because if you try to swing with full power, you are more likely to slice or hook the ball.

Therapy

Use an appropriate iron for the distance needed. Take your normal swing but only at three quarters of a distance in swing length or less. When shortening your swing, you are more likely to move your head, so be sure to keep it still. The key to this shot is that you hit down and through the ball with a firm lead wrist.
