Every chip shot should receive our full attention. However, gravity rules, so the golf ball often nestles down in the grass and sometimes it finds its way into a terrible lie. Upon missing the green, we might need to pitch from thick rough, uneven lies, sand, dirt or we could just be in a hole.
When faced with a bad lie, we need to come up with something special. Imagination is key and it’s important to develop some versatility around the greens. Golfers with strong short games have experimented with various situations and have learnt to chip with almost every club in the golf bag!
In today’s video, we search for the most difficult and challenging positions around the 13th green at Monash Country Club. Glen is up for the Challenge, demonstrating imagination and versatility from each of these 4 very tough positions. We show that despite sometimes finding ourselves in challenging short game positions, it’s still possible to manufacture a solid recovery and save par.
Merry Christmas!

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!
