Chipping from a downslope

Adrian Fryer, 14 October 2011 15:22

The banks that feed into bunkers usually slope downwards, making any chip shot from this lie over the sand a difficult prospect. In this video tip, TG Elite Pro Adrian Fryer highlights three key adjustments you need to make to your set-up and swing in order to execute this shot successfully. Video shot on location at Stapleford Park. Visit www.staplefordpark.com/golf ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 - Backhanded tree trunk shot

Rob Watts, 02 July 2010 14:23

It’s not a lie you’re faced with all too often but it’s certainly a potential card-wrecker if you’re not equipped with the required shot you need to extract yourself. Being up against a tree means you don’t have the option of using your usual stance; you need to be inventive in your recovery. In this golf video tip, TG Elite ...
