5 BIGGEST SHORT GAME MISTAKES!!!

[@atxrich]

Wonderful tips. As someone that walks with only 4-5 clubs at a local, short 9-hole course, my 54 degree is the only wedge I carry so being creative with that club around the greens is key. It’s done wonders for my short game when trying to get up-and-down on a normal 18-hole course with my full set.

Clive is is so pragmatic and is able to distill and elucidate his knowledge. I've given chipping a lot of attention during our interminable lock-downs and his explanations instantly make sense - excellent video - can't wait to try the 6 club drill.

[@toddwilliams254]

Clive Tucker is solid gold.

[@BrandaneBKK]

Really clearly explained - and what wonderful short game practice facilities. Good length of video too.

This was really helpful, thanks guys for taking the time to put this together 👍

Neil and Golf Monthly are doing great work with these videos they produce, Thank you. I agree with the last comment, ....what a great facility at Foxhills. English golf clubs, in general are poor when it comes to producing good short game facilities. How many clubs do you go to that say 'no chipping' to the putting green which is fine, (but chipping doesn't really damage the green, its pitching that creates the problems both in terms of divots and unprepared pitch marks), but then they don't provide another option away from the putting green but close to the first tee where you can hit 30 short game shots before you play. The target green doesn't have to be huge and perfectly manicured it just has to be an area where you can find a variety of lies and practice making good contact

[@dkvalour3574]

Great advice. I would be interested in hearing about where player should be looking when hitting a ball. I think I normally look at the back of the ball but I wonder if that is what good players do. Thanks.

[@peterguildford2133]

Great advice especially the last one. Now all i need is to find somewhere to practise.

[@GolfMonthly]

Glad it was helpful!

[@markdunn8038]

Different types of bunker shots, would be helpful.

[@charlesharrison6291]

Excellent video as always. The short game is a vital part of the game and if you want to lower your handicap these shots need to be practiced.

[@GolfMonthly]

Totally agree. Thanks for the comment!

[@Hifcrea]

one the biggest mistakes i was making with short game that when i realized it 10x my consistency with pitching and chipping is to KEEP YOUR SHOULDERS STRAIGHT. everytime i chunked or thinned these more sensitive shots it was because i was letting my shoulders turn open. You get too distracted by feeling out how much power you need to put into the shot that you forget to square your body up to the ball.

[@doug4912]

Hi Neil. The course I play most frequently has greens surrounded on three sides by thick, lush, 4 to 5-inch high Kentucky-31 tall fescue. If you get, short-sided with the green sloping away from where your ball is nestled in a bed of tall fescue, you will have an exceedingly demanding shot. Any thoughts on playing this shot would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[@stevenmitchell7134]

Really liked the bunker drill

[@hansidelk6604]

lots of fine nuggets in this lessons.

Guy named Tappin teaching short game lessons....epic...

[@adamsielicki1934]

It’s like an Ice Cream man named Cone

[@michaelscales5996]

What about Charlie Gimme ?

[@hesa9849]

As usual, really found Clive's advice very interesting. Looking forward to apply them.

[@wilsonhung8654]

This is so classic and helpful, thanks.

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Get tips from Clive on short game practice. A much under practiced area, especially for me.

[@chrisbates7743]

The bounce doesn’t work unless you have a descending strike (slightly) every coach forgets to mention this, watch the Nick Faldo lessons for the correct coaching.

[@edmunddavis5669]

Love the discussion but its like you have a audible golf lesson. I would enjoy actually watching the technique employed...there is a lot of discussion about technique but there is not much on actually watching the ball plight, how the ball interacts w the green (spin),, etc...there is talk of technique but "we" cant see it.

[@bigwednesday00able]

I found this a bit confusing. For bunker shots, he says you're not really opening the face. Then, he opens the face the whole time. Height of flight, he talks about wrists and arch but little about ball position in stance which has the biggest influence on flight.

More clive content!

I'm watching paint dry with more info

[@evelghostrider]

With nothing to go over, why use a max loft club ? For almost all amateur players a rescue club using putter grip is far more consistent.

[@gr0bbelaar]

I expected a video on Tappin-putts.

[@paulmcgee1867]

Bunker technique fine if sand is loose

[@davidharris2517]

Unless the sand is completely hard pan then use that technique, if it is hard pan lean the shaft forward to reduce bounce and play a more normal shot, trying to hit the sand just after the ball

Not played over litterally 16 months. Can't wait to get out forget all I've learned. And spend hours hacking about under tree's

I feel for you. In the Netherlands Golf continued uninterrupted during Covid.

[@MichaelBakAlmskou]

The meaning with this video is great, but i think there is too much talk, and you make it to complicated. He talks a lot about the don't instead showing the shots some more, and just simplicify it a little more :-)

[@phongvong451]

Just standing there to see there's no future hole. Baby are you ok standing right there, sit down I am and breath with obstacle for detensifying it. Some distance even it is close to your perfect shot, it will never pull in. Lovely majesty.

[@phongvong451]

My grand father taught me never making fun and win over animals for they somehow utilize a blow to the face, like a slap even worse from ear then face. Lesson learnt. A Clubing.

[@beck204]

If your name is Tappin, do you get to tap in 10 footers?

[@vareast]

I'm quite happy with my short game. I found this video too jargony and confusing. And my two short-game errors don't make the list: topping the ball with my lob wedge and deceleration. Coaching is meant to simplify the game; this didn't.

[@andygreen2765]

It sounds like your errors are more basic, e.g. topping the ball. This is aimed at players who have a more consistent ability to make reasonable contact. As you improve this sort of stuff will become useful.

[@petermartinaitis8166]

Biggest mistake KZbin golf channels make.....they assume all club golfers have access to perfect practice facilities just like them.

[@mikeg.5233]

Show me how to do it, don’t show me the mistakes.

Too much waffle !
