DESCRIPTION
Michael Breed, host of 'The Golf Fix', and Martin Hall, host of 'School of Golf', share tips for developing a short game like the pros at Riviera CC.
TRANSCRIPTS
-At last year's Northern Trust Open, Aaron Baddeley lead the
field in up and down 90% of the time at
Riviera Country Club. All right, I've got a little drill
for you to help you with your chipping and it's
very simple. What you're going to do is you're going
to hold this club like a putter. And, what I
mean by that is not just also with the grip,
okay? Not just the grip. And, we are going to
grip it like a putter. So, we want that club
to go through the palm of the hands but we're--
we're also going to do is we're going to move
closer to the ball. We're going to set this club
out on the toe. And, what we're going to do
when we do this is we're going to create more
of a pendulum type of stroke and that putt-- and
that club is going to be staying in the line
of where the ball is. And as we start to
do that, we're going to make more solid contact. And
as we start to make more solid contact, we're going
to be able to control both our distance in the
air and our distance on the ground. So, that's a
great little drill for you to help you get it
up and down. Martin, what have you got for us?
-Michael, I've got another great drill for getting up and
down. Chipping wasn't the only short game success battle we
had. The past two win is at Riviera that have
been 100% in sensation or like 100%. Now, the simplest
drill I know and how to do that. Imagine there
was a tee under the ball. I'm using a red
one here. It's easy to see. I'm going to put
this ball on a driving range tee in a moment
and I'm just going practise knocking that tee from under
the ball and knocking his legs from under the ball,
I'm going to call it. So, I've got the ball
on the driving range tee here. You don't actually have
to be in a bunker to practise your bunker play.
I'm going to set up and open the face. Now,
I'm going to make Martin left so that I'm going
to swing left to my target. But, my goal here
is to knock that driving range tee from under the
ball. Chop his legs off. And actually, you can see
the tee goes and the ball goes. And, that's absolutely
the feel you need to hit high, soft bunker shots,
chopping the legs off from under the ball. That should
help you with your bunker play. Thanks for joining us
on GolfChannel.com for the best in golf instruction. With Michael's
tip and mine, you're sure to be more successful getting
up and down just like the winners of the Northern
Trust Open.
