Short Game Scoring

Most golfers don’t lose strokes with their full swing—they lose them around the green. This lesson is designed to fix that. In this focused, hands-on session, you’ll learn how to consistently get the ball on the green and close to the hole using simple, reliable techniques. We’ll take the guesswork out of chipping and pitching by showing you exactly which shot to play, which club to use, and how to execute it with confidence. You’ll walk away with a clear system for saving strokes immediately—no complicated swing changes, just smarter decisions and better fundamentals.
