Dial in your wedges
Tighten up from within 100 yards
Control is the key
One sure way to getting your scores down quickly is to improve your efforts in the ‘scoring zone’: ie from 100 yards and in.
Vary things
Take your wedges and hit 15 shots with each but vary the length of your backswing every five shots. In this picture we have gone to around nine o’clock, then go to 10 and 11 o’clock and note how far each swing length goes.
Same back, same through
Look to mirror the length of backswing to your followthrough and accelerate on every shot – a shorter backswing should not result in a less committed shot. Instead of guessing how far each club goes, you only need refer to the point on the clubface.
