Hey Quite The Chap here for GolfersRX. You’re not on the green but you’re not too far off the green do you putt, do you chip, do you just pickup…in todays’ video
There’s that awkward distance where you’re not on the green but you’re close enough that you consider putting. But you’re not sure how hard to hit the putt to get it on the green without blowing it by the hole.
Use a 5 iron as your putter
Set up to the ball as if you’re going to putt
Choke down on your 5 iron
Pop it up on its toe
hands slightly forward
And use your putting stroke
The ball is going to pop up off the grass for the first few hops and then roll out.
This is going to allow you to control the ball a little more from that awkward distance off the green. Get it up on top of the grass with the first couple hops and then it’s nothing but smooth rolling after that.
Until next time keep it simple
