What are the 5 most important shots..

[pluthb]

From stage one- two feet back and through with a LW, SW, GW, PW and 9I...5I and vary the ball position from your back shoudler, sternum and lead shoulder.
Couple other hints, aim the clubshaft at your lead shoulder/hinge and make one-lever motions. This will keep you busy for a while!

Keep up the great play Mr. Knoll! Remember to see it before you hit it!

i think what he is trying to tell you that by using a wedge from this distance you will learn rythym and the key ingredient lag pressure.learning lag pressure makes all these little feely touchy shots so much easier. here is a good drill to learn lag pressure. take your wedge and hit your full shot and with the next ball try and hit it 5 yards shorter. keep doing this until the last ball you hit is 10 feet in front of you. this is a great drill and once you can-do this with a wedge try a different club. eventually you will be able to do this with any club in the bag. i practice this all the time, great for developing feel through mechanics.

John man....how do you control your distances? With iron shots and then wedge shots within 100 yards.

Lag Pressure will be a big thing no doubt....but do you do anything else?

[Matt]

Lag pressure is so, so, so important with wedge shots. Forget changing your backstroke length (or your follow-though length, as was recently expoused on The Golf Channel by someone who should know better!) and instead focus on lag pressure.

I'll come back to a great analogy that Lynn once used: an outfielder in baseball. He doesn't try to vary the length of his "backstroke" motion when he throws to second base versus to home plate. Instead, his Computer instantly adjusts and exerts the correct amount of force onto the baseball to make it travel a given distance. The same applies to golf - change lag pressure to change the distance you hit it. After enough practice, it'll become second nature. You see the shot and instantly dial in the amount of pressure you need to hit it that distance.

Birdie_man...I know you know about clearkeys. Sometime, try going to the course and going on full automatic with your clearkey whenever you have a wedge shot inside of 100 yards. Trust me, you'll be extremely surprised at how well your Computer automatically makes you hit the ball more or less the correct distance!

[birdie_man]

Agreed more or less man....that's a great example with the outfielder BTW. It's not how long (of a back stroke), it's how hard.

Hey Tongzilla,

Can you explain this a little more? Ive been reading this site for a little while, but am still very much so a beginner.

Thanks,

Aaron

See chapters 1, 2 and 3 of the Colin Neeman lesson series. It should clear a little fog for you.

"To make a PAR on a hole, you usually need to only hit one good shot. This could be an approach, chip, putt, etc.. To make a BIRDIE, two good shots are usually needed."

This seems very simple, but is is a little different way to look at PLAYING the game. I was told this by former Ryder Cup Member, Dave Ragan.

....totally agreed, but i was thinking the "2 good shots" have to be with a mid iron or less club........

just looking at alot of the pro's bomb away with the drivers,Tiger in particular, gets into all kinds of places
but they make excellent shots with mid irons and wedges

I see what you are saying. However, a long perfectly positioned DRIVE, followed by an IRON to 3 feet= BIRDIE, or maybe EAGLE. A good DRIVE, then a fair IRON to 25 feet, then a 25 foot PUTT... GOOD DRIVE & GOOD PUTT. You can do this all different ways.
