Let me know if anyone ever tried this and made it out alive. I swear I remember a saying, “It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.”
It was nice knowing ya’ll! 😖🤣💀☠️

Flop shot or chip shot? What’s your go to shot and why?🤔

Chip. 9 times out of 10.
Flop is sexy. Chip pays the bills
Why?
Lowest risk, highest make rate. One hop, roll like a putt.
No perfect lie needed.
Flop needs perfect lie. And 💯 confidence and commitment.
Chip miss = 15 ft past. Flop miss = chunked in bunker or bladed over the green. 😖

Pro stat: Average up-and-down from 20 yards:
Chip: 68%
Flop: 32%

Even pros chip unless they HAVE to flop.

The Rule I Teach

“If you can putt it, putt it. If you can’t putt it, chip it. If you can’t chip it, flop it.”

Anyone else pose like this or is it just me?
I had to stare the ball down and pray that it missed the bunker.

I finally found a 3 wood that gives me the confidence to hit off the deck without worrying about chunking it or thinning it. It came down to 2 clubs. The Paradym 3 wood and the Taylormade Qi35 3 wood. I like the shallower face with the CG low/back which launches off the turf even when you catch it thin. What’s your favorite 3 wood? Like and comment below.

This hole was paying out $10,000 for a hole-in-one! I hit a perfect draw and landed a few feet away. Almost thought I made it in! So close but yet so far 😖😭

13 UNDER GOLF TA 25 SWING TRAINER
RESULT: +10 to 15 yards on my driver 💣

I was stuck. Same speed. Same distance.
Then I started training with the TA 25.

What changed in couple weeks:
Better sequencing → Body leads, arms follow
Consistent low point → Ball first, turf second
Smoother tempo → 80% swing, 115% ball speed

I didn’t swing harder.
I swung better. And the ball went 10-15 yards farther.

If you want more distance without blowing out your back, this is it.

Cheat code: How to hit a 3 wood off the deck
* ��Ball position: Play it just inside your lead heel, slightly farther back than you would with a driver.
* ��Set-up: Keep your weight balanced and avoid leaning back to try to help the ball into the air.
* ��Stay centred: Keep your chest over the ball and avoid swaying away from it during the backswing.
* ��Strike the ball first: Focus on contacting the ball before lightly brushing the ground after impact.
During your swing, focus on a sweeping motion.
* ��Do not scoop it: Trust the loft of the club to get the ball airborne rather than trying to lift it yourself.
* ��Use a smooth tempo: You do not need to swing as hard as possible. Good contact is more important than speed.
The biggest mistake is trying to help the ball into the air. Stay centred, make a committed swing and let the club do the work.

Bonus tip🔥: Rory Mcilroy said he likes try to keep his head level the same throughout the swing.
Most golfers bob, sway, or lift up through impact.
That’s why you chunk it, top it, or hit it 40 yards.
