Butch Harmon has a brand new short article at golfdigest.Com approximately "ego mistakes." You recognize, the photographs you reduce to rubble due to the fact you wouldn't accept your barriers or because you're trying to show something. Everybody makes them; even the professionals do so at instances.
Butch's article makes a speciality of especially commonplace ones:
- not using enough club when you hit into the green and
- using too much loft when you chip and pitch around the green.
Although I'm oversimplifying right here, to restoration the first mistake Butch says you need to take one extra membership and swing at some thing much less than complete velocity. That will help you hit the ball more solidly.
And on the second, he actually advises trying different clubs for photographs across the inexperienced. Don't simply take hold of your lob wedge. (Yeah, I understand that is what Phil does -- he performs each shot with the same wedge. Butch is aware of that too. But you're no longer Phil yet, are you?)
He additionally reminds you to keep away from flipping your fingers at impact while pitching with a wedge. You can refer lower back to this publish proposing a video with Paul Azinger's pitching technique in case you want more help. (Butch's technical advice in this article is better for chipping than pitching, at least if your ball is sitting down a piece inside the difficult. Just reflect onconsideration on all the ones men stubbing pitches on the Hero World Challenge.)
I'm sure many of you will say, "This is basic stuff. I already know this." But spend any time watching players on the golf course and you'll realize that knowing what to do is different from actually doing it. Butch knows we all need reminders -- that's what makes him such a great teacher.
