The reason is simple: high-handicappers don’t hit many greens in regulation; consequently, they have to depend more on their short games.

Three short shots comprise the most important stroke-saving strategy: (1) chip shots, (2) pitch shots, (3) and sand shots. Don’t just grab your shag bag and head for the practice area to work on these shots. You must have the correct fundamentals; practicing poor habits is counterproductive.

Ask for advice from talented players or your club professional before you begin working on your short game. You can also learn the fundamentals from books, magazines, and videos, but nothing beats hands-on help.
