Thinking differently near the green

Thinking differently near the green

By Mark Grove

Most Golfers, including Pros seem to think that always using a wedge near the green is the only way to get your shot either in the cup, or close as possible. Does it makes sense to use a wedge or pitch when the green slopes down. My thinking is, the way a wedge club head is designed, that when you are near a green you better back off or your shot will land well beyond the cup.

The Alternative to the Wedge—near the green

This is where thinking differently takes over. You may think I’m way out there on this one, but most sports writers on Uwritesports.com think so anyway. Using your putter near the green can keep you from hitting the ball too far down in the green, and end up in a bunker or into the next fairway.

This can be a strategy to keep you from going over par for a particular hole. Now due to the flat and relatively straight surface of a putter Club head and it’s Heavy Density, It can enable you to control the flow of your shot, not just the distance. Try practicing shots near the green with a putter and see if you don’t find it works well -along with your regular putts on the green it’s self. You won’t want to use the Putter near the green in every case, but it is a way to give your Short game the edge and variety it needs to improve.
