Short Game Scramble Free

Hit bump-and-run chips with a putting-like stroke

• ball back in your stance, hands pressed forward, weight favoring your lead foot
• minimal wrist action
• pick a landing spot about 3 feet onto the green and let the ball release to the hole

Hit 5 pitches to each of three targets: 30, 40, and 50 yards

• consistent tempo with smooth acceleration through impact
• vary the length of your backswing, not your swing speed

Hit greenside bunker shots with an open clubface

• open the face before you take your grip
• enter the sand about 2 inches behind the ball
• swing along your foot line (slightly outside-to-in) and accelerate through the sand
• follow through fully; a short follow-through is the most common bunker mistake
• with no bunker today, drop a ball in first-cut rough and rehearse the same setup and swing without sand
