There are very few golf coaches better placed to offer expert insight how to improve your game than David Leadbetter.
NCG’s James Savage joined the world-renowned instructor at his new academy at Stoke Park to work on how to improve his short game.
You can either watch the full video above, or the various segments of Leadbetter’s ultimate guide to the short game below…
Part 1: Club selection and technique
David explains how club selection largely depends on how you want to execute the shot. Do you want to get the ball up in the air, or do you want to see the ball roll?
Part 2: Should I use a putter off the green?
Many people find it difficult choosing whether or not they should use a putter from off the green. David talks you through what factors you should be taking into consideration when trying to decide.
