Short Game · Technique

Open the face and work across out of greenside rough

The instructor sets up to work the club more out and across through the ball. He sets up more open, aims left, and grips it tight (the one shot where a tight grip helps, to hold the heel through). With a bit of hinge he holds the loft and works the club across the ball with a wider stance and the ball in the middle, then slides through.
