Short Game Coaching
A reliable short game is one of the fastest ways to lower your scores and enjoy golf more. Short game coaching focuses on developing simple, repeatable fundamentals that lead to cleaner contact, better distance control, and increased confidence around the greens.
Key fundamentals we work on include:
Posture
Because wedges are shorter than irons and woods, you’ll naturally stand closer to the ball. Maintain an athletic posture with your arms relaxed and hanging comfortably beneath your shoulders to promote control and consistency.
Ball Position
Ball position plays a key role in controlling trajectory and rollout.
- Position the ball slightly forward for higher, softer shots
- Position it slightly back for lower, running chips
Small adjustments here can make a big difference.
Stance & Setup
Use a slightly narrower stance than your full swing, with your front foot subtly opened. Keep approximately 60% of your weight on your lead foot to encourage a steeper angle of attack and clean contact.
Grip Pressure
Maintain light, consistent grip pressure throughout the motion. Think of holding a bird—secure enough to keep control, yet soft enough to allow feel and touch.
Tempo & Rhythm
Focus on a smooth, controlled tempo. Whether the swing feels balanced or slightly quicker through the ball, the key is to maintain acceleration through impact rather than slowing down.
Backswing Length
Let distance control the length of your backswing, not effort. A compact swing with natural acceleration produces far more reliable results than trying to “hit” the ball.
Short game coaching is suitable for golfers of all levels and is designed to help you save strokes, build confidence, and feel more relaxed around the greens. Each session provides clear feedback and practical drills that translate directly to on-course performance.
