Improvement to your golf short game will without doubt see the quickest reduction in scores and enjoyment of the game.

For years I spent my time practising driving and trying to hit the ball further but my scores stayed broadly the same.

Over the years, how many times have you or a playing partner taken one shot to cover 200-300 yards and another 4 or more to cover 50 yards?

Taking just one stroke off per hole (and for many of us 2 or more should be possible) will have a profound effect on not only your score but your confidence throughout the round.

At one time I was just happy to reach the green but as I improved, in particular my short game, I started to see where I could shave a shot or two of each hole. Then as things improved further, I grouped the wholes into 6 groups of 3 and focused on reduce the total for three holes by at least 1 shot.

Try it yourself, I am sure you’ll soon start to see the benefit. So what can you expect from golf short game instruction?

I found when I as struggling that the high level theory was all very well but my shots were poor, sometimes shanked, sometimes scuffed or thinned yet I couldn’t work out what I was doing wrong.

I thought I was following the short game instruction from the book or game improvement video but the results were just not there. Then I stumbled across something that worked for me – I was taking the club away too shallow and too rigid.

My point being – does that mean anything to you? We each need telling in a particular way which is why I have assembled information from a broad range of sources so that you’ll be able to find the right golf short game instruction just for you.
