Short Game

 

​​The short game in golf is composed of wedge play and putting. Wedges, which are used for chipping, pitching, and bunker escapes, allow a golfer to hit a shot onto the green in hopes of only needing one putt to finish the hole. Putting includes any shots taken on the surface of the green. Much of the time, golfers look to make the ball in the cup when putting and close out the hole. Although the short game does not always utilize strength, it requires precision, focus, and creativity. With enough practice with wedges and the putter, golfers can eliminate many extra strokes off of their scorecard. 

Core Values

​

While golf can be a fun pastime for people to continuously enjoy, it also teaches lessons which can be applied to all aspects of life. When undesired shots inevitably occur, patience and self-confidence is needed to move on to the next hole. Regardless of the outcome on the golf course, players can learn courtesy and sportsmanship by congratulating their playing partners on a meaningful round. And perhaps most importantly, the only referee in golf is yourself, so golfers must appreciate integrity and honestly judge themselves when out on the course, adhering to the rules and playing fairly. These concepts, along with many others, are the foundation upon which golf was built.​

SKILLS

Long Game

 

​The long game in golf is considered to be shots taken from over 100 yards away from the hole. In golf, perfecting the long game is extremely important for putting a player in a position to attack the hole and leave themselves a short shot for their next stroke. One of the best ways to improve the long game is by working on the driving range and making changes to the golf swing one step at a time. With patience, golfers can become more consistent in the long game and give themselves opportunities to shoot lower scores.
