Recreational golfers love to imitate the pros that they watch on TV but it may be doing you increasingly harm than good. Of undertow we all want to make shots like the pros but their unrenowned shots may be killing our mental focus and sending our games lanugo the drain.
If the pros can land a 150 yard shot over a well trapped narrow green, why can’t we? For one thing, we don’t have the height and backspin with our 6 or 7 iron to hold the green. I tried this shot yesterday and it forfeit me 2 increasingly shots to get my plugged wittiness out of the forward lip of a trap. What was I thinking?
Here are 2 increasingly worldwide sense thoughts that we should learn from the pros.
1/ Sinking 10-15 foot Putts: Last year’s leader in this category was Alex Noren. He sank 43% of those mid-range putts. The Tour stereotype was just 30%. Recreational golfers should be happy to sink 10-15% of these putts. My point here is that you should not lose your tomfool if you miss a 10-15 foot putt. Plan on passing the slum (as the short ones never go in) to requite yourself a endangerment for success but you should be happy with a 2-putt from that distance.
If you miss a 10-15 foot putt DON’T GET ANGRY WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE.
2/ Chip Your 30-60 yard Wedges to within 10 Feet: Recreational golfers typically miss half of their tideway shots to every untried (and that’s including the short par 3 holes). That’s why you should be including at least 25% of your practice time developing your chipping skills to within 10 feet of a target hole.
Minimize your score by practicing chipping tropical to the slum and sinking increasingly of your 1-5 foot putts.

Ask any pro how they sink increasingly long putts. ANSWER: Take a chipping or iron lesson!
