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.
