How to hit a shot low if you ever find yourself in the woods, wind in your face, or you just want to hit a low shot because the ground is hard. This is a shot that is difficult to hit but if you can learn it you will be able to save a lot of shots. You may ask: Why do I need this shot? Well lets say you get stuck in the woods and you have tree branches everywhere. Branches only grow on the mid and above on a tree so you have around 3-8 feet of nothing but the tree trunk. This is a good time to hit a low shot because you have a better chance of not hitting the trunk rather than a million tree branches.




In this video you will learn how to hit a knock down/stinger. When I hit this shot I have 3 things I remind myself to do. Put the ball in the middle to back of my stance, choke up on the golf club so I am gripping the very end of the grip, and finally I am doing a 3/4 swing rather than a full swing. If you do this correctly the ball will come out low and quick because when you put the ball in the back of your golf stance it forces the club to change the angle of attack and de-lofts the club allowing the ball to come out low.

Today you will learn how to score better on the course. Many people think if you have a bad swing or your not good in a certain area that you won't be able to play good. Everyone has a weakness in their golf game, even the professionals but its how you can be consistent and patient. For example, I am not good at hitting my irons onto greens but I know what way my ball will curve every time and I know what way it will curve when I hit it bad. This means that I can focus hitting my irons in specific spots and I can be aware of where my bad shot will go allowing me to be more cautious.

In this video you will meet Andy Proudman and learn course management strategies. He is a professional golfer and is very successful in the golfing industry. He demonstrates that you do not have to go for every green or hit the ball as far as you can to shoot good scores. In golf you have to pay attention to where the trouble is and you have to learn your weakness.

The most important part to golf is the short game. The short game is when you are around the green and you need to chip/putt. Alot of people do not think about it but almost half of your shots are just in putting. If you play a golf course and the course's par is 72 and lets say you shoot 72 and you 2 putted every hole which is average. Thats 36 shots just in putting which is half par for the course.

This is a great drill for chipping because if you miss the green you are going to have to chip and this drill teaches you to chip within 3 feet of the hole. Most of the time you will make a 3 footer so thats why they use a 3 foot circle for demonstration.

Here you will see Graham McDowell helping an amateur with their short game. Graham is one of the best putters on the PGA tour and you will notice that all the players on tour are very good but what separates them from amateurs is putting. They average around 25 putts where an average golfer is around 35.
