Take Strokes Off Your Golf Game Now

I recently read a golfing article that provided me with many ideas on how I could take off 7-10 strokes on my next round of ground. I didn’t have time to practice all of them before my next round so I decided to test and stick with one idea.

This one tip did exactly what that manual said it would do. I reduced my next round of golf by 6 strokes just using this one technique. Very plain and simply put the tip was to “Chip with your nine iron instead of your wedges.”

Now this was a very appropriate tip for me because my golf course has a lot of flat areas that lead up to the greens from 45 yards and in. I don’t about the normal average weekend hacker but I could never do well with my sand wedge, lob wedge, so I decided to give the nine iron a try. As the instruct said, It is easier to get the ball to the hole along the ground than it is in the air. He further suggested that unless were going over a pond, then why do we even bother using our wedges at all.

My third shot on the first hold left about 35 yards way from the end of the green, with another 15 feet to the pin. It was a farely flat stretch with a slight left to right slope toward the pin. I got my trust 9 iron out and my playing partners automatically looked a my like I was crazy. Fortunately they were by friend. Well I lined up the shot a little to the right, chocked up a little bit, and hit a nice low bump and run. It followed my path – line perfectly, took the brake and rolled to within 12 inches of the cup. 1 putt for par and I won the hold. Lucky break I guess.

Well I decided to follow this format for the rest of the golf round and found another 6 situations where I could hit the 9 iron bump and run with almost the identical shot result every time. I could see the same thing about using my wedges so they are staying in the golf bag until really thick ruff or some sand shots. Try it yourself, you just mike like the result.
