49: Locate Your Landing Zone to Save Shots This Weekend

Welcome to 5-minute Friday! Today's topics - locating your landing zone. When you miss the green and are chipping or pitching, you need a target, just like you do with full shots. I like to think of this as your landing zone; this is where you want the ball to land once it hits the green. It will change every time based on the shot, green conditions, break of the green, and more. Your landing spot gives your mind something to focus on. Just like the full swing, you want to paint a clear picture of what you want from the shot, so your mind can make it happen. With chipping and pitching, you need a spot where you want the ball to land. Unless you're extremely short-sided, make sure the landing zone is always on the green.
