A top instructor explains how to hit 3 different shots with 1 club

A common situation on the course is facing a shot around the green, over a hazard. Typically the player is short sided and needs to carry the hazard and stop the ball quickly on the green. Many players opt to hit a lob shot, but there is another option that is often more reliable and easier to hit – a high, soft running shot.

Top instructor Pete Cowen says that the key is using the correct club and not trying to hit the shot too hard. He recommends using a more lofted club, such as a gap wedge or pitching wedge, and opening the clubface slightly. This will help to create more loft and launch the ball higher. The swing should be smooth and shallow, with the player focusing on making contact with the ball in the center of the clubface.

When done correctly, this shot will produce a high, soft ball flight that will land on the green and stop quickly. It is a great shot to have in your repertoire, and it is one that can save you strokes around the greens.
