Golf Clubs: Sand Wedges

Alright so we're about 30 yards from the edge of the green; so if the, if the pin where we're aiming at is that one right at the front of the green; I've got about 35 yards to it bit if it's any of the other ones it's 35, it's 40; 45, 50; 55 yards away. So we still have some work to do. So when I use my sand wedge; I'm going to practice hitting at all the various pins here because when I'm playing a match and I land in this spot relative to the hole, I'm not sure what I'm going to have left. So I have to be able to handle it. So I'm going to use on this swing, I'm going to open the club face which means I'm going to open up my stance and I'm going to aim at the ones on the right side of the green. And because I'm this isn't a full swing I also have to practice the distance that I want to hit. So I got to just work on the a lot of repetitions to get this shot down to where under pressure I can hit it. That was pretty good. So anytime you see Tiger Woods hit this shot, he's hit it thousands and thousands; and thousands of times in practice and let alone he's done it under pressure. So that's what you want, on this one all I can now close the stance and which will keep the ball a little more on line o.k. So, yes this is a shot to practice endlessly but it's a very rewarding shot because the closer you get to the pin; the better your options are for making the putt.
