Trouble From Tight Lies

You're just 50 yards from the green -- inside that dreaded
"tight-lie" zone. In other words, it's too close for a full
pitch shot and too far away for a simple chip shot. Suddenly
you begin get concerned about the difficult "finess" required
to perform that 1/4 sand wedge swing. You start to remember all
the chunked shots that went less than 10-inches and the 80-yard
sculled "worm burners" that fired straight over the green.

Your golf buddies begin to laugh out loud while rubbing their
hands in glee. But hold on... no need to panic. For these tight
lie shots the solution is easier than you'd think.

It's critical that you catch the back of the ball first, then
take a divot -- NEVER the other way around. Your divot on these
shots should always be in front of where your ball layed.

1.) Setup slightly open with your stance...
2.) Have the ball back in your stance so the shaft naturally
leans forward with your hands ahead...
3.) Look at the FRONT of the ball and just turn back and
through.

You'll be surprised to discover that the ball will pop off the
clubface with the proper spin on it. It's not big and dramatic
-- and rarely does this result in trumpets and dancing girls --
but it's how you'll get it on the green and near the hole
without a lot of trouble. That's how you'll save par... drain
more birdie putts... and wipe that smile off their faces. You
can thank me later.
