Understanding Short-Siding in Golf
- Short-siding in golf means having less than 50% of the green to work with when approaching the hole.
- This severely limits options, such as when rough mostly blocks the direct route to the pin, increasing difficulty.
Short-Siding Raises Your Score
- Scoring average for 10 handicap players when short-siding three times or less is about 85.
- This increases when short-siding six or more times, showing a negative impact on score.
Avoid Short-Sided Misses
- Avoid missing greens short-sided as it makes shots significantly tougher and can cost you a couple of strokes.
- Focus on better targeting to ensure more than 50% green is available for approach shots.
