Your Short Game and Long Game are Different! #golfswing #golftips

Most golfers tend to swing the same way for every shot — but your short game and long game need completely different moves.
An “over the top” move hurts your long game, but in chipping or pitching, it can actually help you strike down and control spin.
The key is knowing when each move works and separating the two.

Long game and short game are very different. Now, it sounds pretty obvious, but I’m just going to give you a good example here. Think of this with a driver. If we are getting the club swinging across and over the plane, cutting across the golf ball, we consider that probably to be a bad shot. We might be able to fade it, but we would be risking slicing it. Think about this. If I had a short shot, a little chip shot, and I had the club working across me like that, that would offer me more control. It would get the golf ball to stop quicker. So, what I’m saying is make sure that you’re intentful when you are practicing short game. Don’t let that bleed into your long game and vice versa. We see this happen with all players of all levels. Aaron Ry is a great example. He works too hard on his short game, it bleeds into his driver. So, make sure you don’t make that mistake.
