Weekly Golf Tips with JC Bacon PGA Professional at Los Lagos Golf Club

Week 2 Chipping/Pitching

Around the green we usually are going to play one of the two different types pitch shots. The first one I will cover in this tip is the most popular, and the highest percentage shot to play, the “pitch-n-run”.

Usually hit with a 5,6, or 7 iron or in some cases you can use one of your hybrids, and played like a putt, using almost all arms and shoulders. Play the ball off of  your back foot, making sure your hands are ahead of the ball at address. The stroke is much like a putting stroke, make sure your hands stay ahead of the ball through impact. The result should be a low flying shot that will roll most of the way to the hole. This shot should be played when you have only a few feet of the apron to hit over, and a lot of green between you and the hole.

With any more help with this shot or any part of your game, contact your local PGA or LPGA Professional

Week 1- Putting

Putting is a personal game, pick a putter that looks and feels good to you. Here are a few basic fundamentals to keep in mind in your putting game:

• Try to keep your eyes directly over the ball at address
• Do not hold the putter too tight, it can cause a “jerky” type stroke
• Keep the putter low to the ground on the backswing, minimize wrist movement as much as possible
• Practice 3-5 foot putts to increase confidence and decrease 3-putt greens
