The object of the short game is to get the ball up and down as quickly as possible to save strokes. I will show you my short game keys to allow you lower scores every time you play.
Focusing on your right arm can be the way to save your short game- especially the pitch shot and chips from near the fringe. Watch this video to learn how players such as Jason Day eliminate the bad short game shots via their technique
All I know about bunker play- shown here in this 20 minute video. I will show you how to make the best of any bunker situation.
Luke Donald has always been recognized with having one of the better short games on tour. He recently posted a video showing his pitching action- and a great way to train how to use the bounce correctly.

Bunkers are hazards. Therefore we rarely get a perfect lie. What should you do when the ball is above your feet in a greenside bunker? Watch and learn.....
Being proficient at the short game also requires being able to read the lie before you. Knowing how a lie will react gives you the choice to play the best kind of shot necessary to get that ball close to hole and up and down. Save shots by knowing the lie.
In this member question video I discuss trajectories on pitch shots. I am a big believer in the closer you keep the ball to the ground on pitch shots the more control you will have. Learn how to flight your pitch shots in this video.
