You will be able to pull off the ideal shot for the situation at hand. The more types of shots you are able to hit from under 100 yards the lower your scores will be. Once you master these, it's time to experiment and test your skills. I'm a firm believer in having about 3 basic shots you can go to for different distances and for when you are under pressure. The best thing to do is to find what works for you and stick to it. These are just a couple of examples of why this can be confusing for the average player. Each course is drawn to scale by George Gerney, who has been. The same golfer cards are used in both versions of the ASG game. Each golfer is represented by his own card, which recreates his abilities, highlighting his strengths and weaknesses.
Some advocate leaning left while others say stay centered. The ASG Golf Game is actually two games: a full shot-by-shot version and a Quick Play version. Some instructors advocate a low finish while others advocate high.
As with all shots in golf there are varying and conflicting lessons on how to execute a pitch shot.
It has more time in the air and less time on the ground. Anyone can bash away at the ball and come out with some pretty good results, but to hit one in tight to the pin from say 40-80 yards is not as easy as it looks!Ī pitch is typically defined as a higher shot that comes in soft on the green and sticks with little roll. Putting and chipping are small, basic strokes. The reason I feel this way is because it's not too hard for a good teacher to teach someone the set up and the basic technique, but to become a good pitcher, a player needs hours of practice, a good sense of creativity and a lot of finesse. In my opinion, pitching is the big gray area of golf instruction.
