As the greatest players in the world head to historic Muirfield Village golf course for the Memorial tournament in Ohio, an ability to hit the most greens in regulation will help separate those that have a chance to shake the legendary golden bears hand on Sunday and those that missed an opportunity of a life time. Ball striking throughout the bag with irons is not only sometimes a total craps shoot for distance control but also very sporadic for solidness for most amateurs.
During my instructional sessions the ability to have proper “club gapping” as well as distance control throughout the bag comes with seasoned instruction. So lets focus today on the consistency of solid impact as more of the priority. To be able to find more of an instant comfort and confidence in your iron play this season, first have more comfort in not having to “max out” the needed distance for a particular club. This happens the most frequently with long irons but can also can occur while trying to hit a scoring iron tight. To help your rhythm as well as create both a complete back swing as well as finish, try using the less lofted club when indecisively in between clubs.
When having a club in your hand that you do not have to execute perfectly, not only frees you up to relax, but gives you a better chance to end up in chipping proximity. With this improved club choice from the get go, at address you have the ability to relax rather than choking the club hard enough to have added veins in your arms pop out. So next time needing to hit the eighteenth green in regulation to make a par and take down the rest of your weekend foursome, club up, relax, and swing fully to see that ball end up next to the flag stick!
