How would you have played this shot?
Off a downslope, onto a quick green, then a tier with the pin at the bottom.
Golf IQ plays a huge part in short game, here I used a Hinged Release-1 as I was on the downslope and a 56 to check the ball so it didn’t have much speed as it made its way over the tier.

RELEASE 1 🔥

The chip and run is one of the most powerful shots in your arsenal and one that should be mastered first. Here, I’m with cricket legend during his first ever golf lesson!

How to play this shot
To improve our strike, we worked on the following:
1️⃣ Stood closer to the ball
2️⃣ Raised our hands at address
3️⃣ Swing ‘under the coffee table’ to keep the club head under control

Quick fixes ⚡️

We only need to miss the sweet spot by a few centimetres for the shank to come into play. The good news? This is actually a quick fix if you know how to do it!

THE PROCESS:
1️⃣ Stand further from the ball and squat down
2️⃣ Feel like you’re playing a slight draw
3️⃣ Keep your trail arm connected to your chest 🔐

MASTERING BUNKERS

When we don’t take enough sand in the bunker, it’s easy for the ball to fly over the back of the green or hit the lip of deeper bunkers. If this happens to you, it’s likely you’re struggling to control your low point. Here’s how we fixed it:

1️⃣ Kept 70% of our weight on the lead side
2️⃣ Swung smoothly, without rushing
3️⃣ Kept our right arm connected to our chest

Release 1 chip & run ⛳️

This shot might look simple, but it’s made more complicated by the uphill slope we’re playing into. When the shot has too much height and spin, it’ll dig its teeth in, leaving you with a difficult putt for par.

Remember, the shot has a lower ball flight and less spin, so it should be perfect for this shot—if we execute it correctly.

Listen in to hear how we lowered the ball flight so the ball made it all the way to the pin.

This was one of my favourite lessons this year, coaching cyclist at the wonderful .

Jack is obviously a great player, so we only worked on improving his rotation to deliver a better strike more often. The world’s greatest short game players will have a technique that works even when they don’t strike the ball well and this is something you should all aim for.
I still can’t believe we hold four out of 5 shots!!

HARD PAN LIES

We’ve had almost no rain over the last two months in the UK and the ground is rock hard. To make sure we don’t thin the ball, we need to understand how to work the club through the ground without kicking.

THE BOUNCE:
The bounce is designed to help the club slide on the turf, but in firm conditions it will kick. By placing the toe down and swinging from out to in, you can nip under the ball and still generate height and spin without the risk of a thin shot.
TO PLAY THIS SHOT:
1️⃣ Stand closer and aim open to the target
2️⃣ Swing from out to in
3️⃣ Work the toe into the ground through impact

Release 1

The chip and run is your bread and butter shot and one that should be mastered first. Once you’ve nailed the technique, it remains the same for any club you use in the bag, meaning it’s very versatile.
IMPROVEMENTS
1️⃣ Rotated our chest more towards the target
2️⃣ Released the club to the lead hip (Release 1)
3️⃣ Lengthened our backswing

CHIP AND RUN 📈

The chip and run shot is the most important short game shot and one that should be mastered first. It’s a powerful shot that’s useful for everyone, from new golfers to the very best tour pros. Here is how to play it:
1️⃣ Stand closer to the ball with higher hands
2️⃣ Use light grip pressure (4/10 max)
3️⃣ Rotate gently through to the target
When you play this shot well, you should see the ball come off the face lower, check slightly, and then gently roll out towards the pin
