Golf Scenarios That May Prevent A Pitch Shot

October 15, 2007 | under Beginners, Golf Tips |

Have you encountered a situation where there are obstacles along your path of approach to the golf green ?  And a chip and run shot is not possible due to this obstructions ?

It is not uncommon. If your ball is facing a shot in which you cannot chip it, due to having too many items in the way, then the pitch shot is the perfect option.  Your goal is to send the ball flying high enough to avoid anything in its way, yet land steeply with the least amount of roll possible.

Pitch shots are made in golf from a distance of 75 yards or less toward the hole. This means that you are working with a small amount of green and must control the ball’s distance. In addition, other troublesome scenarios that may stand between your ball and the hole are:

1. You might have to pop the ball over a small pond or creek.

2. A bunker may stand in the way between the ball and the green.

3. The green may be guarded by a hill or mogul.

4. You might have to avoid knocking your ball into a grass bunker.

5. There may be low lying tree branch blocking your direct approach.

Well, this are scenerios where you can pitch it high and try to land softly on the green.

Happy Golfing….
