Drop 5 Strokes in 10 Weeks

Week 6: 75-yard Shots
For most golfers, 75 yards is a tough distance. It catches many players in between clubs, but is long enough to be considered as a full approach. Perfecting the 75-yard approach will create many birdie opportunities in the future.

Use This Tip You can avoid hitting the ball fat (a very common error from in-between distances) by perfecting ball position. Play your short-range shots with the ball centered between your ankles (not your toes) and accelerate through impact to a longer follow-through than your backswing length. These two fundamentals will keep you from struggling with this important part of your game.

Select a wedge that lets you hit a full swing, and from 50 yards, that's probably a lob wedge.
