54: Club Up on Approach Shots to Have 3+ More Birdie Putts

Today's 5-minute Friday episode will help you have more looks at birdies! If you want to have more birdie putts every round, you need to club up on approach shots. Otherwise, you risk ending up short in the worst spot (and more bogeys). Think about it, most trouble is in front of the greens (bunkers, deep rough, water etc.). Plus, most golfers take a club that they need to hit perfect (which doesn't happen often, even for scratch golfers). By taking more club you are giving yourself more birdie putts (even if you don't hit the shot 100%). If you do miss the green long you should have an easier chip to get up and down.

49: Locate Your Landing Zone to Save Shots This Weekend

Welcome to 5-minute Friday! Today's topics - locating your landing zone. When you miss the green and are chipping or pitching, you need a target, just like you do with full shots. I like to think of this as your landing zone; this is where you want the ball to land once it hits the green. It will change every time based on the shot, green conditions, break of the green, and more. Your landing spot gives your mind something to focus on. Just like the full swing, you want to paint a clear picture of what you want from the shot, so your mind can make it happen. With chipping and pitching, you need a spot where you want the ball to land. Unless you're extremely short-sided, make sure the landing zone is always on the green.
