How Important Is Your Short Game?


Touring Professionals, on average hit around 13 greens in regulation! that means that 5 times per round they will require an excellent short game, with an accurate chip or pitch shot to ensure saving their par. Failing to do so on a regular basis will make the difference between earning a living and not!

When it comes to the Amateur Golfer, the average number of greens hit in regulation is only around 2 or 3 per Round! This creates a huge opportunity to either save or lose strokes purely on the ability of his/her golf chipping or pitching performance.

I bet if you count the average number of shots it takes to get down from around the green, you would be staggered by the number of strokes that you are potentially throwing away. Just imagine for example, there are 14 occasions during a round that you have the opportunity to get up and down in 2, if you could only manage this 50% of the time, you would save 7 strokes!

Learning how to save those precious shots around the green with a consistent and reliable short game is one of the surest ways to start lowering that handicap and improving your golf scoring. When it comes to the short game there are plenty of tricky shots that you will eventually need to master if you want to maximise your performance, such as the chip-n-run, pitch-n-run and lob shot for example. However, there are 2 basic shots that you should focus on perfecting first, which are the Chip Shot and Pitch Shot.

If you are serious about improving your golf chips shots and looking for some inspirational advice on how to take your short game and golf chipping to the next level, then i would recommend that you get a copy of Phil Mickelson's excellent golf instructional book called 'Secrets Of The Short Game'
