What to Use From the Fringe

Unable to determine how to play your ball when in the fringe.

Spin Your Wedge Shots

Needing maximum amount of spin with a lot of loft.

Stop Flubbing Your Wedges

Wedge shots that fly short and unpredictably.

Greenside Pitches

Difficulty deciding how to play based on the specific conditions of each shot.

South Paw Swing for an Unplayable Lie

Trees, bushes, or other obstacles that can prevent you from addressing the ball. This is great if you would rather get the ball out and a little further away than you would if you had to take an unplayable lie.

Texas Turn Down

You need to bounce the ball to the green when a bushes or trees are obstructing the lob shot or if a bump and run would leave the ball in the long rough. The Texas Turn Down can land the ball short of the green with enough over spin to bounce forward and run close to the pin.

Chipping on a Downhill Side of the Green

You are worried about getting a strong downhill roll.

Common Chipping Mistakes

Restricting your swing while chipping, not enough loft, or easing into the ball.

How to Hit a Wedge Shot 40 Yards

The range of error for a forty yard wedge shot is huge because you can finish your shot between thirty five yards short of the target or sixty yards past it.

Long and High Shots with a Soft Landing

Topping the ball with wedges or you need your lob shot to fly high with a soft landing near the hole. When your grip is too strong, it will release the clubface and make the ball skid at impact.
