The 20-yard rule

This week: One of the biggest mistakes golfers make is practicing shots they'll rarely face.

Here's a simple exercise.

Think about your last round.

Where did most of your missed greens leave you?

For most golfers, it's somewhere within 20 yards of the putting surface.

Yet many golfers spend most of their practice time hitting full shots.

This week, try spending 50% of your practice time on shots from 20 yards and in.

Chip shots.

Pitch shots.

Short bunker shots.

The ability to get up-and-down from these distances can save strokes immediately.

It's a perfect example of the 80-20 Principle.

A small percentage of skills often produce the majority of scoring improvement.

That's exactly what the 80-20 Golf Method™ is all about—helping golfers identify the few things that matter most and stop wasting time on everything else.

Low Point Control: The Secret to Crisp Iron Contact

Want to conquer iron shots with ease?

Here’s a quick tip that can transform your iron shots: low point control.

What it is:

Low point control is simply knowing where your club hits the ground in your swing. Hitting the ground in the right spot ensures crisp, consistent contact.

Why it helps:

Fewer fat or thin shots

Cleaner divots

Straighter, more predictable ball flight

Even a small adjustment can make your irons feel more reliable and save strokes on the course.

No guessing. No trial-and-error. Just cleaner, more consistent ball striking.
