hi everybody Mar here the teaching
professional at solic Park Golf Club
this week a little bit of OnCourse help
for you I think um and it’s around par
3s and and the strategy for playing par
3s I think look when you’re a high
handicapper and you’ve got a shot on a
par three the par 3s are the the holes
you look forward to you probably can
easily reach the green you’ve got a
chance of powering a net birdie great
enjoy that on the ride while you’re head
heading downwards if you don’t get shot
on a par three you know if you’re hand
handicaps getting sort of south of 15
you’re probably going to start to not
get shots on par 3es they’re the holes
you must try and navigate safely um so I
think there’s some strategies around
that and some things I think you should
consider doing so let’s go number one
the teer ground
itself and where you put the ball so
this little 125 yard pathway pretty
little corner of our course here on the
15th the flag today is hard on the left
hand side almost as probably near to the
left left hand side as you could get it
so I am going to purposely for me I
would come over to the right hand side
to tea up it will give me a better angle
into the flag I’ll have slightly more
green to work with I think people by
default can just plunk that ball right
in the middle of the teeing ground and
accept that okay so think about that
also is the ground level are your feet
in a happy place have a little Shuffle
about and find a nice spot to tea off
from it’s just starting to build that
little bit of inner piece I think for
for the shot ahead um to tear up or not
to tear up I’m going going to say that
um for the majority of people a very low
tea just the cup of the tea will help
you fit the Leading Edge under the ball
get a bit of compression get some height
get some spin as you get better then I
think maybe you can consider hitting it
off the ground me I’m full all the way
Dame Laura I’m
uh I just like to knock the turf up and
sit sit that on that little
wave and that gives me a nice feel when
I hit the ball especially for these
shorter shots right so onto the shot
itself it’s a it’s a short shot I could
definitely force my gap wedge up there
but I’m not going to I’m not even going
to hit my pitch I’m going to hit a
little half 3/4 99 and I’m pretty much
feel like I’m guaranteed to stay in
control of that if you’ve been watching
any of the stuff with um what but
charman’s trying to do with Rory mroy
one of the main things they’re trying to
do is to stop him hitting these flat out
short shots these sand irons at Full
Tilt with a huge amount of spin on he
doesn’t need need it and it’s fantastic
advice I think from Harmon to to get him
to try and think like that and play like
that and scale down these little
knockdown shots he’ll have the most
beautiful hands for feeling distance so
he doesn’t need to do it and I think
that if what they’re going to do is
works then his shots into the green will
be that tiny bit closer takes the
pressure off your putting and it just
flows onto a good score uh so that’s
that part of it really I think uh when
you when you come to when you come to
address these shots and actually execute
your main focus should really should be
on the aim and Alignment part so you’re
going need to make sure your your your
blade is square to your your intended
target and your feet are on this correct
line into into what you’re trying to
achieve so for a normal shot I want you
to be square get your railroad track
system going with your Club on One path
and your feet on another and just trying
for the majority of people try and aim
into the center of the green if you
become a better player fantastic and
start to try and go for these flags if
you knock it into the middle of the
green you a birdie part and from that
birdie part something good undoubtedly
will bound to happen so I’m going to
have a quick go try and get this little
N9 onto the green it’s a nice little
hole this so um has a little tear behind
it so you don’t want to go too long so
I’d be careful with my 99 but I promise
you this is the best way to play so for
all of you playing next week if you feel
like it’s a seven go to a six smooth it
down shorten it get it under control and
I bet you find more greens so see you
all next week and thanks for watching
and if you can see
that
that is a really good shot I’ve got
about a six f
