I just want to take a a second to give you a thought when you're hitting wedges around the greens to a target. I have these targets of mine set up 10, 20, 30, 40 yards. They're accurate. They're exactly the distance that I know I'm gonna need around the greens in a lot of instances, and if I get it good at these four distances, I'm gonna be pretty good everywhere around them. But my point is to hit a shot, the right distance in my book, you control the length of your backswing look, I've got 10, 20, 30, 40 yard targets out there. My 10 yard swing, I take it back to right here. 20 is here, 30 is here, and 40 is here. Then I just go through the same pretty much on every swing. So if I want a 40 yard wedge shot to a 43 yard pin, let's say I'm gonna try to hit this in the center of that, that little aluminum block out there with that length of back swing one, just knock it on the green. I'm not trying to stop the ball in the green. I'm trying to land it there, trying to land it right on the 40 yard target. One more time so you understand what I'm doing here. I'm taking a 40 yard back swing and going through to a almost full finish. I'm not trying to rush to the finish, but I'm just going through based on the length of my back swing. I hit about that much too far, about as good as I can do. If you practice this way, you'll be a lot better on the golf course.
