Don't be afraid to gamble with your pro...you will be surprised at how well you hold your ground...we played short game challenge last night... buck a ball closest to the pin, winner picks the next shot. After about 50 shots I was down seven bucks....not bad...
I did learn that I had some shots, I didn't know I had... such as straight up over a 20 foot tree and still carry 25 yards forward...I watched my pro hit the shot first...then I did the same...opened the face of a 53* wedge to about 55-70* open...keeping the sternum over the ball swing easy back on the target line to a full swing position and follow all the way through to a full finish...
I did have trouble with severe downhill lies from 45 yards in thick rough... I learned quickly after it cost me three bucks in a row...for mild downhill lies I used to always keep... my weight on my front foot when chipping and would sometimes hold the heel of my right foot off the ground...I couldn't do that and still get over the tree about 12 yards in front of us...I had to open my body and my clubface, stand mostly feet together...and kind of visually swing along the hill if you will on my target line... by the fourth shot I had it down.
Putting:
We went to the putting green after 50 bucks and played a game my pro calls, don't be short... typically all 8-10 foot putts from various locations around the putting green matches are of course 18 holes at a time...the rules are simple...if u are short measured 90* from center of cup from last pin to current pin... then u owe a buck... if get an ace, u win a buck... any difference in strokes the higher scoring person pays difference...
At one point I was down 13 dollars... ended up only owing 4. I had a good run of aces when everyone else was two and sometimes three putting... its easy to get back in the game 3 and 4 bucks a whack...
