Right at the flag damn you might capture a hole in one right here are you having trouble hitting your wedges close enough to the hole is your shot dispersion too wide well I think I might know the reason why because I see it all the time with my students and I’m
Constantly having to remind so let’s jump into this video and let me tell you why well if you haven’t noticed I’m not at aelia city I’m down on Dolphin Island Alabama which is the Barrier Island for Alabama’s Golf coast and I’m here at Isle doline Golf Course
Out on the fifth the 18th hole excuse me which is a par five I’ve stopped myself short probably about 90 yards into the green and I just thought this would be a great place to do this video cuz what a backdrop huh looking out at the Gulf of
Mexico if you can see those sand dunes out there that Sand Island awesome all right so the problem that I see with all of my students is they’re all making a golf swing that’s way too big with their wedges they stand there and they got their wedge in their hand
And it looks like they’re trying to hit a driver they’ve got their feet wide they’re in there they’re making big swings and they’re going real fast and it’s almost like they’re trying to see how far they can hit their wedges as opposed to how close to the hole you
Have to hit your wedges and trust me with wedges in our hands distance doesn’t matter we want proximity to the hole so there’s a different speed of swing that you have to use when you’re doing your wedges okay and I like to refer to it probably as somewhere in
That 3/4 speed 75% speed from your full swing with a seven or a six iron if you back off at that speed to about 3/4 you’re probably then swinging at your wedges a lot at the proper speed okay so I’m about 90 yards away I’ve got my 52
Degree wedge okay wind’s blowing out to the gulf a little bit and all I’m trying to do here is just make a very nice smooth swing because I want this ball to end up close to the hole okay so let’s see how I can do
Well it is right at it if it’s the right distance okay so that first one I hit a little bit too hard I didn’t realize that the wind wasn’t going to affect it quite that much but it was hit super solid right online but I hope you saw
The speed that I went there and the effort level that I used was very low very little now the reality is is that I could probably hit my 56 degree wedge from here but I would have to swing real hard and if I swing real hard with that
Wedge I’m just not controlling my golf ball as much so let me see if I can hit one more same thing 52 degree wedge take a little bit off of this one see if I can hit a good one okay that was in the middle of the
Green did get that one all right let’s go up to the green and we’ll wrap this up okay so the first shot that I hit flew right over top of the flag I thought it was going to be good and it landed right back there on the back of
The green and just rolled off the back I’ve got it in my pocket already but the second ball ended up right over here and I am 253 ft now for me I’m not that happy with 25 or 30 ft with a wedge in my hand but you have to
Go according to your skill level and for the majority of golfers out there that would be a great shot so if you want to start hitting your wedges closer to the hole give this a try go out there and back off your speed back off your effort level use a
Little more Club if you think you need to figure out the distance that you can hit those wedges at a very controlled comfortable speed and you’ll see your golf balls start getting closer to the hole and hey when they get closer to the hole got a chance to make a birdie every
Now and then your score is going to drop well listen I want to thank you so much for coming in and watching this video um you might wonder why I’m down here at Dolphin Island was down here actually practicing filming uh for the big trip that’s coming up at the end of April
