2. Every golfer from the budding amateur to the full blooded professional knows that the most important aspect of success in golfing is tied to improving their short game. The short game refers to shots that are played relatively closer to the hole, thus making it possible to improve your scores by making the hole. This is so because a larger percent of all shots are played from longer distances, from where making the hole is harder.

4. Also, the short game comprises all skills from the chipping shot to pitching, driving the ball and putting.

Though, this might be a little different if you need to putt from a longer distance.

7. Practice Makes Perfect

8. Aside your stance, constant practice is equally very important for improving your short game. You will need to follow techniques that have made leading golfers successful and commit yourself to a regular practice routine on the different skills.

There are different recommended clubs for different play types and course condition, though it is also advised that you use the club that you feel most comfortable with.

For instance, you would need to lift a ball higher if there are obstacles in your line of putt. Also, you would need to devise ways for adjusting for the wind when playing in very windy situations.
