One dilemma for golfers is missing the green with our approach shots, leaving ourselves with a short downhill chip from the rough.
PGA golf professional Craig Stadler calls this situation “every amateur golfer’s nightmare”. Can you relate? I can – the tendency is to avoid loft and just attempt a short low chip, often resulting in a “fat” shot that ends up short, or drilling it too long.
In this video, The “Walrus” demonstrates using a 56 or 60 degree sand wedge, position the ball just inside the toe of our front foot, then hit a lofted shot so the ball lands softly to reduce the roll. Check it out – this tip could save you a couple of strokes.
