Marc Albert Teaches Chipping in Golf
In this article, we will be discussing a valuable tip from Mark Albert, the managing senior instructor for Dave Pelz Golf at the PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Albert will be sharing his insights on how to improve your short pitch shots near the green. One common issue that many golfers face is taking the club back only with their arms, resulting in a lack of acceleration and stability during the shot. Albert suggests using a medicine ball to help develop the proper body movement and improve your short game.
The Importance of Acceleration and Stability
According to Albert, one of the keys to a successful short pitch shot is maintaining acceleration and stability throughout the swing. Many golfers tend to decelerate and stop short on their shots, leading to inconsistent contact with the ball. To overcome this problem, Albert recommends incorporating a medicine ball into your practice routine.
Using a Medicine Ball to Improve Your Short Game
Albert suggests using a medicine ball to improve your short game. The weight of the medicine ball will force you to engage your body and learn how to work it back and through as you hit the shot. This will help you develop better acceleration, commitment to your finish, and stability, resulting in improved contact with the golf ball.
