On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Ray Boone and I run the Ray Boone Golf Academy
at the beautiful Miami Beach Golf Club. Today I'd like to present to you the basics of short
game. The dangers of playing that lob shot that we've just described earlier are we can
hit behind the ball easily and scold it over the green, we can hit it and chunk it and
it goes no where. If you're a high handicap player, I would highly recommend that you
get a lob wedge, but I wouldn't have you play that shot till you really practice it a lot
and gotten good at it. You're safer to play more of your chip shot, maybe move the ball
a little bit forward in your stance in the middle, leaning the hands forward a little
bit and just play your basic chipping motion and don't worry about hitting such a high
flop shot. Play a percentage play, play a safer shot maybe you're going to hit it 20
or 30 feet past the flag and that's fine, because we want to avoid making that triple
and quadruple boggies that happen all the time. So again for the average player take
a lob wedge, play it in the middle and just do your basic chipping stroke.
