Shots to learn from the US Open

June 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Shots to learn from the US Open

Some players – and a handful of ex-pro commentators – have been scathing of the way ‘the amateurs of the (cheap golf clubs) USGA positioned some pins on ultra fast greens to make them almost inaccessible to the world’s best players’.

However, Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood declared the course fair if a little brutal at times(Mizuno MP-58 Irons).

This Donald Ross course was designed in the early part of the last century with greens resembling turtle shells – upturned saucers with flat sections receptive to only the perfect(Mizuno JPX A25 Driver) approach but with run off areas that demanded delicate chips and pitches to save par if a player mishit or miscalculated and approach.

With modern machinery – compared to past century hand mowers and horsedrawn gang mowers – cutting the grass more finely and with great accuracy, the tournament(Mizuno JPX A25 Fairway Wood) organisers have extended these run-off areas and false front to greens to embarrass the world’s best.

However they have responded with a wonderful array of short games skills from which we can all learn.

Chip with fairway metal or rescue club

It was Greg Norman who many claim to have introduced this additional versatile skill at least 15 years ago(cheap golf clubs=http://www.mygolfwholesale.com/ ) – using the wide sole of the club and its upright loft to send the ball gently towards its target.

With a tightly mown steep slope to the green in front of them, note how players have gripped down the (Mizuno MP-58 Irons)shaft and use the club with a putting grip.

Ball position has been in the centre of the stance and with a short backswing and follow through the ball has been bounced on a low trajectory and with little spin(Mizuno JPX A25 Driver).

It’s a feel shot in which the player has to beware of the hot face of the club, built to spring the ball 200 plus yards. It needs soft hands and great touch but especially from a collar of rough it will enable many amateurs to roll three shot into two.

A good tip is to use it around the practice putting green – when those popular signs say ‘No chipping(Mizuno JPX A25 Fairway Wood=http://www.mygolfwholesale.com/
) around the practice putting green.’ No one will condemn you for using a fairway metal or rescue club and you’ll be amazed how expert you will become.
