Tips for the short game - Part 1

Tip 1: The path to the flag

We all strive for mental strength and consistent play. However, this is unattainable without effective practice, especially in the short game. This aspect of golf is an area that ANYONE can master as it does not require any specific physical requirements. Improvement here is mainly a matter of diligence - a quality that anyone can bring to the table.

Consider the examples of the best golfers in the world: Bernhard Langer, one of the best putters of all time, has overcome significant putting crises. Dustin Johnson became one of the top golfers after realising that pure distance is not enough.

A simple exercise can help you improve your short game quickly: All you need is a putter, a wedge, a ball and a practice green. With this exercise, it is important to perform your full routine. It should be as realistic as possible to simulate a real game on the course. It's not just about practising your pitches, chips and putts, but also about preparing yourself for different game situations as you will experience them on the course.
