The Problem

Short Game Should Feel Simple… So Why Does It Cost So Many Shots?

You are close to the green. The shot looks simple. But if you are not sure how clean the contact will be, where the ball will land, how far it will run, or whether you have even chosen the right shot, it can quickly become one of the most stressful parts of the game.

One poor chip can lead to another chip. Then a long putt. Then a double, triple, or worse.

This session is designed to give you more certainty around the greens, so you can stop guessing and start playing chip shots with a clear plan.

  • 01Thinning chip shots through the green
  • 02Hitting the ground first and leaving the ball short
  • 03Struggling to judge speed and runout
  • 04Not knowing where to land the ball
  • 05Always using the same club, even when the shot calls for something different
  • 06Standing over short shots with fear instead of confidence
  • 07Turning simple situations into dropped shots
What You'll Learn

What You'll Learn In The Masterclass

The 3 Principles Of Good Short Game

Learn how speed, spin, and trajectory affect every shot around the green — and how controlling these three variables helps you chip the ball closer.

Your Baseline Chip Shot

Build your foundation shot. This is your safety blanket — the chip shot you can rely on when you need to get the ball on the green and close to the hole.

Different Flights Around The Green

Learn how to hit a low runner, a mid-flight chip, and a higher, softer shot so you are not stuck playing the wrong shot in the wrong situation.

How To Choose The Right Shot

Learn how to assess the lie, landing spot, distance, green speed, and runout so you can choose the right option instead of guessing.

Games And Challenges

The session will include practical challenges and games to help you test your contact, landing spot control, and ability to get the ball closer.
