Golf's Most Wanted Shots

- WORDS DUNCAN LENNARD

Mastery of the downhill bunker shot off one knee is no doubt impressive – but let’s face it, it’s not that valuable. To score better, you need to excel at the shots you face most often. But how do you know which they are? Well, we know thanks to Shot Scope, an innovative shot tracker that sends data through a sensor in the butt of the club to a wrist-worn device. Shot Scope has data on some 14 million shots, played by ordinary club golfers like you and me over 320,000 rounds. It’s allowed analyst Gavin Dear to compile a clear picture of which types of shots are played most often, and so where we need to target our work and practice. Over the next 10 pages, you will learn how the average round is compiled, and its six most common and valuable shots. From here, TG Top 50 teacher Darren Parris will take you through each one, giving you drills to improve. Prioritise these parts of your game – it’s your quickest route to lower scores.
