Master the 10-yard flop shot

Rob Watts, 24 February 2011 11:56

Golfers are always taught to accelerate the clubhead when playing the flop shot from a tight spot beside the green. But often, this reduces the amount of control you have meaning your judgment of distance suffers. As TG Elite Pro Rob Watts explains in this golf video tip, the key to getting your ball close from the short side is ...

Recovery Zone - Tight Lie Chip

Rob Watts, 09 July 2010 21:08

Chipping from a tightly mown fairway can strike fear, or perhaps a fear of strike, into the amateur golfer. The task of sliding our wedge underneath the ball seems almost impossible at address, causing us to reach for a safer, less lofted club, which may create a more consistent strike but might not be the correct play from your position ...

Towering par 5 approach

Gareth Johnston, 02 July 2010 14:59

Par 5 greens, like almost every green on golf courses today, are usually guarded by hazards at the front. They also tend to be a little smaller compared to other types of hole, making them less receptive to approach shots struck with longer clubs. With this is mind, we need to have the ability to hit long, high approach shots into par-fives ...

Recovery Zone - 5-wood bullet from the rough

Rob Watts, 21 June 2010 10:18

From the rough, you’ve got a variety of clubs you could select when hitting an approach shot into a par four or five. But there’s none more versatile than a five-wood. The longer sole of the club helps the clubhead glide through the long grass while you have the option of hitting the ball high or low depending on the ...

The rescue pop shot

Gareth Johnston, 28 April 2010 16:41

It can be a frustrating feeling to see your ball nestled down in the rough when you’ve only just missed the green with your approach shot. Sometimes, trying to use a lofted wedge can be an option that risks catching too much grass between club and ball, making distance control almost impossible. So next time you find yourself in this ...

Flop shot over water

Nick Clemens, 23 April 2010 16:12

When faced with a short carry over water, you need to ensure you achieve two things: height and distance. You need the height to be able to hold the green and you need the distance to make sure you don't need to go fishing your ball out of the pond with your ball retriever! TG Elite Teaching Pro Nick Clemens ...

Escape from the trees!

Gareth Johnston, 15 April 2010 13:15

You've hooked your tee shot and found the trees on the left hand side. Making par is impossible from here, yes? No! Even if you've got a tree directly in your line, you can still get your ball on or near the green by learning how to hit it low and with shape. In this golf video tip, TG Elite ...

Chip from the collar

Nick Clemens, 22 January 2010 15:12

Everybody craves backspin in their approach shots just like the pros on Tour but when it comes at an unwanted time, when you haven’t got enough club or a gust of wind blows out of the blue, you will often find yourself up against the collar of rough at the side of the green. Playing a normal chip shot brings ...

Flop shot over a bunker

Nick Clemens, 22 January 2010 14:51

You would have preferred your ball to run in the bunker but unfortunately, you find yourself just wide of the bunker, with the sand in between yourself and the green. As explained in this top golf video tip from Today’s Golfer Elite Nick Clemens, there are two ways to play this shot. The high risk choice would be to flop ...

Escape The Rough

Adrian Fryer, 20 February 2009 01:00

What do you do when your ball ends up in the rough? Too many golfers choose their club before they even get to the ball. This is a mistake. Only ever choose your club once you've assessed the lie. Always air on the side of caution when you choose your club and take more loft rather than less. TG Top ...
