Short game technique in golf refers to the skills and strategies used for shots taken from close to the green, typically within 100 yards. This includes chipping, pitching, and putting, where precision and touch are crucial. Players focus on controlling the distance and direction of the ball to get it as close to the hole as possible. Key elements of short game technique include proper stance, grip, and swing mechanics. Practicing with various clubs, such as the wedge and putter, helps golfers develop feel and consistency. Mastering these techniques can significantly lower scores and improve overall performance on the course.
