Tip of the Week
Hit Low!!
We have had quite a bit of wind over the last few weeks, so I decided to refresh your memories on how to hit the low punch shot. This is a great shot to play when stuck under trees as well as when you are playing into a strong wind.
How to Do It:
Take a 5 iron and play the ball back in your stance. This will help de–loft the club face, producing a lower trajectory. I chose a 5 iron because it is a little easier than a 3 or 4 iron to control, and most of us now have hybrids in our bags to replace them anyway!! You can also play this shot with your 6, 7 and 8 irons.

Place a little more weight on your front foot at address and restrict your backswing and follow-through. Use a ¾ backswing and try to restrict your follow through to about the height you would like the ball to fly at.
This is a great shot and could save you many shots on course, so next time you are on the range, spend a few moments practicing it or click here to book a lesson!
