Breed's Reads
-There are three key tips to hitting an accurate tee shot like Jason Dufner. First, use lower body movements to start the swing. Second, let the hips drag the club head back. Third, sequence the swing from the ground up with your lower body, hips and upper body.

-To stop the chipping and pitching yips you have to move your hands differently. Put your right hand under your left palm facing forward to karate chop through your swing.

-Learn how to control your distance with your wedges by paying attention to both air and ground time. Use a symmetrical length backswing swing and follow through to create consistent loft.

-To improve your pace of play, be ready to hit the shot when it's your turn. Take your pre-shot routine while your competitors are hitting.


Viewer Question (Facebook Exclusive)
Q: Was wondering how to attack the green with long irons. Need help on getting the ball to stop near the flag with little to no roll. Thanks, I love the show! (Jeremy Skinner - Destin, FL)

A: What kind of golf ball are you playing?  Some are meant to roll out.  Try the Titleist ProV-1.  Then make sure you have control of the club face.
