On any par 4, your third shot can make or break your score.
Within this short video, John Hughes, PGA Master Professional shows you how to turn that crucial third shot on any Par 4 into a game-saver or a birdie chance, no matter your skill level.
Most golfers face a chip as their third shot on a par 4. We’ll teach you how to handle those pressure shots and convert them into lower scores.
Join us on the 7th hole at Omni Orlando Resort (ChampionsGate) as we dive into three common third-shot scenarios on par 4s:
• Trouble Off the Tee? Take your medicine and play a smart third shot onto the green. Avoid the hero shot – a safe bogey is better than a double bogey. Coach John explains club selection (sometimes using a longer club to ensure you clear hazards) and strategy to set up an easy putt.
• Missed the Green? No problem. Most golfers come up short, so we’ll show a short game strategy to get up-and-down. Learn why you should bring multiple wedges to your shot and how to choose the one that gets you closest to the pin. Commit to your chip shot landing spot and roll it close to save par.
• Putting for Birdie? We’ve saved the best third shot for last – the short birdie putt! See how to read the green and control your putt’s speed to capitalize on those hard-earned birdie opportunities. Even if birdies are rare, a confident stroke on your third shot can reward you with a lower score.
Watch now to discover pro tips on mastering your third shot on par 4 holes. By improving your decision-making and short game around the green, you’ll save strokes and boost your confidence. Remember, whether it’s a chip, pitch, bunker shot or putt, the third shot is often the key to scoring.
