You can wedge it closer to the pin. What’s required is a little planning, a sensible club choice and good visualisation. Many golfers simply look at the yardage, choose a club they think might make it and swing away. The results are often inconsistent.
The majority of approach shots fall short of the target. This is due to poor contact with the golf ball, lack of commitment or simply under-clubbing. Tour Pros display much better awareness of their yardages for each club, especially their wedges. However, most of the time, wedge approaches are struck at less than 100%.
Course management processes are often restricted to tee shots. However, game strategy is just as important for wedge play. Surveying the lie, predicting how the golf ball will behave on the green and visualising the trajectory of an approach shot are all part of a good golfer’s preshot routine.
Learn why the golfers on the @PGA TOUR play partial shots inside 120 yards and how you can too.

ABOUT AUSSIE GOLF PROS

Steve Gannon and Glen Haynes created Aussie Golf Pros to provide a learning platform for golfers of all levels. They post content regularly on social media accounts. Their website, www.aussiegolfpros.com, includes blogposts, golf coaching series and links to great programs. New content, videos and downloads are added regularly.
Golf Coaches, Not Teachers
The Aussie Golf Pros are holistic coaches in every sense of the word. Steve and Glen are both fully qualified members of the PGA of Australia and are avid students of the Sports Sciences. Together, they are certified in Advanced Golf Coaching, Golf Psychology, TPI (Body-Swing Connection), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Personal Development and Skill Acquisition.
Steve and Glen are not ‘Method’ coaches. They recognise that there are literally 1000’s of ways to swing a golf club! Rather than try to ‘change’ your swing, their goal is to help You Be The Best Golfer You Can Be!
Skill Development vs Technical Changes
Although technique is an important factor in improving a golfer’s performance, Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice towards improved performance.
External Focus of Attention
Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common suggestions might include increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These are all factors of the golf swing, which many golfers and teachers consider important. However, as they are focused internally, on movements of the body, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process.
Enter the world of External Focus of Attention. This means that instead of focusing on body parts, a golfer can and should focus more on the target, the ball, the clubhead – objects which are external to the body. The sciences involving Motor Skill Learning have proven that by employing an External Focus of Attention, sports men and women learn new moves more quickly, retain changes more readily and can perform better under pressure.
All of the Aussie Golf Pros coaching, drills and advice for clients and viewers, involve an External Focus of Attention and the results can be astonishing!
