Explaining what ‘short-sided’ means — and why you need to avoid it

**The Perils of ‘Short-Siding’: A Golfing Pitfall to Avoid**

In golf, being “short-sided” refers to being positioned on the green with the pin far away from you, making it challenging to get the ball close. The primary cause of short-siding is an errant approach shot or a putt that came up short.

Being short-sided can significantly hinder your chances of scoring well. When faced with this unfavorable position, players may attempt to chip or pitch the ball directly at the hole, often resulting in overshooting the target or leaving it short.

To avoid short-siding, it’s crucial to control your approach shots and plan your putting lines carefully. When possible, aim for the center of the green, which gives you more options and reduces the likelihood of ending up in a short-sided situation.
