Are You Practicing Skills Or Protecting Ego

Send us Fan MailYour short game doesn’t fall apart because you “need more touch.” It falls apart because the lie changes, friction changes, and most golfers keep trying to hit the same shot anyway. We bring back the energy from a great golf trip, talk through the Masters hangover, and then get brutally practical about what actually helps you score when conditions are real and time is limited.We start with the stuff that quietly shapes your whole season: public golf pace, why walking often speeds things up, and the small habits that keep rounds moving. From there, we zoom out into why so many players avoid golf lessons, even though they want to improve. Bad diagnosis creates bad trust, and the old “get worse before you get better” sales pitch doesn’t hold up when you’re paying for results. We also explain why measurement tools like force plates can reveal the invisible parts of the swing that guessing can’t.The main course is short game. We break down how dew and wet grass reduce friction, why that makes high-loft shots unpredictable, and when a bump with less loft is the percentage play. We cover low point control, arc depth, using bounce, creating a path that works left to manage speed, and the right-hand feels that keep the face from shutting and producing those hot jumpers. We finish with high, soft pitch ideas, bunker strategy for both short-sided and longer shots, and simple drills you can take straight to the practice area.If you want more clarity around the greens and better decisions under pressure, subscribe, share this with a golf buddy who lives in the bunker, and leave us a review.
