DISTANCE CONTROL: Varying Speed to Improve Your Irons

ABOUT ME:
You’re here because golf is hard. I’m here because I managed to figure out how to play it well. And as the wise folks say, once you know, pass it on.

For the past 20 years, on any given day, it would have been a fair bet that I was at a golf course. On the range. On the course. Competing in tournies. Anywhere that had a tee, range, or pin. It’s my home away from home. All that club swinging landed me a win in The Evansville Men’s City Championship before I could even vote. I played 4 years at Indiana University on teams ranked in the top 10 nationally, and I competed in the U.S. Open once (plan to do that again).

I won’t say I’m the best, but I’ve been around the best. Literally the GOAT. Tiger’s locker was next to mine at the Open (I got in as an alternate and somehow that happened).

Besides hitting buckets of balls until my hands bled, I also had expert instruction along the way. Did I mention I kept notes? I still have them, and you should too. Let me help you write lower numbers on your scorecard.

DISTANCE CONTROL:
After the famous book was published, Every Shot Counts by Mark Broadie, the golfing world discovered how important it is to hit our approach shots close to the pin.

Challenges yourself to become better in this area of the game is a quick way to lowering your scores. Learning how to vary your speed is apart of that process. Getting to know how to hit clubs different distances will improve your ability to get the ball close to the hole.
