GOLF TIPS with NISHARLAN SEWGOLUM

-

NO MATTER your level of golf, when you require improvemen­t the best method is to have your game structured.

This week’s tip is something I often heard golfers speak about and then go on to mess up the shot because of confusion.

It’s your 100 metre distance shots and the wedges used.

With new technology comes advantages, but if not known well, it can be damaging to your game.

Three clubs are mainly used in this distance zone – they are your 52 degree gap wedge, 56 degree sand wedge and 60 degree lob wedge.

The distance they will carry will be the same order I have set them out in, from furthest to shortest.

All theses wedges are designed for a specific distance.

Don’t try hitting them too hard or too soft and neither should you be adjusting the face of the club for loft and deloft.

The club will do its work when hit correctly. If you are not sure about your distance on these clubs, go to a practice area and have them worked out.

The inside 100 metre zone is a scoring area. For your game of golf, it’s what brings the handicaps down and for the pros, it’s what wins championsh­ips.

So to get your scoring going, make sure you have brushed up on your knowledge of wedge play inside 100 metres because this is the foundation of your golf round.
