This "Tip from the Pro" brought to you by Golf University the world's premier golf improvement program
Ash we're on the 18th hole and I've got a major problem. It's called a flop shot
and
What am I gonna do mate? I've got to try and get over these bunkers to a pin
That's right up tight against the green.
What would you recommend? Yeah, you're right. You're in a bit of trouble here
You've got to really try and think safe
The bunker here is probably not the best option. So I'd be thinking to shoot over on the other side of the green
So then you'll have an uphill putt coming back
Yes, you're happy if I try and land it further on then try and land it shorten and hope it bounces on
Yeah, we all like to hit a shot with our playing partners that make some amazed
but sometimes you've got to think safety first
Yeah. All right. Well show me how are we going to do the flop shot?
First things first you want to try and add loft to the face to try and get the ball higher
So you want to open the face up?
Which is this way and you want to try and make sure you give yourself enough leeway
So over the bunk you probably ought to go six or seven meters over the other side, even if it rolls past
Yeah, so you'd set up with your feet relatively square not just a normal shot with your face open
wait in the middle of your feet
and just one
two wow
So you really gave it a good follow-through, didn't you? Yeah. All right. We'll give me a go
So face open normal, yeah, so I'm square. Yep middle of the stance
Good straight in the hole
So something like that, yes
Well, there it is, I hope you've enjoyed this Golf University "Tip from the Pro"
