Short Game 101: Chipping, Pitching, and Sand Play

with Patrick Goss,
Men's Head Coach, Northwestern University,
1997 National Collegiate Coach of the Year,
Coach of the 1999 NCAA Individual Champion;
4-time Big Ten Coach of the Year

Goss, the 1997 National Collegiate Golf Coach of the Year, puts a premium on the short game in practice and during competition. Goss opens this video with an overview of the short game: how to get the ball into the air, the difference between the chip shot and the pitch shot (and when to use each), and why the bunker shot is the easiest shot in golf. Next, he gives detailed lessons on each shot in the short game. Each lesson includes the proper set-up, body motion, distance control, club selection, and practice tips. Also included is an advanced lesson on how and when to hit a flop shot. Coaches and golfers at all levels will benefit from Goss' insight into this critical aspect of golf.
