WEAR OUT THE SWEET SPOT

IT'S EASIER TO DO THAN YOU THINK (AND IT LOOKS COOL, TOO)

It’s easier than you think (and it looks cool, too).

Astatistician friend and I were going over my performance summaries recently. He said, “I’ve concluded you make the highest percentage of your birdies when you hit the green in regulation.” We laughed, because he was stating the obvious – there is no substitute for good iron play. And the key to great irons is solid contact, finding the sweet spot consistently. Over the past 18 months, I’ve worked especially hard with my coach, Todd Anderson, on improving with my irons. It’s paying off , and to prove it, there’s a wear mark on my irons about the size of a coin. Here’s how you can wear out your sweet spot – and find more greens in regulation as a result.
