Ball above feet

Rob Watts, 13 December 2010 09:43

You’ll very rarely face a shot from a dead-flat lie and it’s not uncommon to find your ball lying on a slope above your feet. This lie will have a significant affect on the flight of your ball so it’s integral that you adjust your set-up to counteract this and ensure your ball finds the intended target. Aiming right of ...

Recovery Zone - Cut lob shot

Rob Watts, 09 July 2010 22:05

When you’ve missed the green on the short side, the only way you can get close to the flag without hitting the pin is to play the high lob shot. This shot is ideal as it gets the ball up high and quickly, reducing the amount of run the ball will have on landing. Recovery Zone Instructor Rob Watts sees this shot ...

Recovery Zone - Punch under a tree

Rob Watts, 09 July 2010 21:17

An absolute must-have in your golfing armoury for when you find the trees off the tee is the punch shot. This shot enables the golfer to flight the ball low, underneath the lowest branches and running up towards the green. But how do you know which club to use? How do you play the shot successfully? All these questions will ...

Rough Rescue

Gareth Johnston, 02 July 2010 16:42

The rescue club gets its name for precisely this reason. Where mid-irons fail to achieve a consistent strike and regular distance from tricky lies in the rough, rescue clubs come to the fore with their forgiving shape and clubface, making them the best choice. But you still need to apply to right technique. Otherwise you could find yourself in more ...

Rescue club par 3 tee shot

Gareth Johnston, 02 July 2010 15:17

Long par 3s are an amateur golfer’s worst nightmare, especially when the wind is in the golfer’s face. Using long irons is never an attractive prospect – they stare back at you with their limited loft oozing difficulty. A rescue club provides a simpler alternative. The face is more forgiving, it’s just as easy to shape the ball and they ...

Recovery Zone - Shape it around a tree

Rob Watts, 02 July 2010 14:17

Trees provide a serene backdrop to many golf courses across the country. But they also prove to be a frustrating obstacle when it comes to hitting the green after a wayward drive! Sometimes, when the foliage is thick and the branches grow high, the only way to get around them is to have the ability to shape your ball dramatically with ...

Rob Watts, 25 June 2010 10:17

There’s nothing worse than ripping a drive down the middle of the fairway only to find your ball resting in a divot. But don’t worry if you’re unlucky enough to find yourself in this situation because all is not lost. In this video tip TG Elite Teaching Pro Rob Watts shows you how to make a clean strike and make ...

Recovery Zone - Shot from the collar

Rob Watts, 21 June 2010 10:48

Your approach shot into the green on a par four takes a big bounce, bounds through the green and rests up against the collar of rough that divides the rough and the fringe. It’s an especially common scenario in the summer when the greens are firm so you need to make sure you’re prepared and know how to overcome this ...

Grass bank rescue shot

Nick Clemens, 14 May 2010 09:47

When the green you are approaching is surrounded by a grass bank, you'd think it would increase the margin for error. Should you miss the green on the side with the mound, the slope should feed the ball back to the pin. But sometimes, when the grass is especially long, your ball can get stuck on the slope, leaving you with what seems ...

Get more yards from the rough

Nick Clemens, 22 January 2010 14:27

You reach the biggest birdie chance on your home golf course, a short par five that often provides your scorecard with a rare red number. But if your tee shot slides off the fairway and into the rough, a bad lie can sometimes prevent you getting near the green with your second shot. But thanks to this top golf video ...
