The Golf Podcast Presented by Golficity

In many ways short putts are a no-win situation – if you make it, you were supposed to make it, so it doesn’t really feel like an accomplishment. If you miss, however, you’ve “wasted” a stroke and there is nothing you can do to get it back.

That said, making more short putts has a lot to do with changing your mindset, accepting reality, and making a smart play.

In this episode of The Golf Podcast we talk about four things you can do to improve your make percentage on those shorter putts. Execute these suggestions and you'll see your scores dropping in no time!

In This Show You Will Learn:

How to "accept reality" and come to grips with the idea of not making every short putt.

Why every golfer should "take their time" and not rush short putts.

When to keep your eyes (and head) down and when to look up at the putt.

If you find yourself in a bunker with nasty, wet sand conditions a relatively easy shot can turn difficult – or impossible – in a hurry.

This week on The Golf Podcast, hosts Frank and Mike discuss the proper way to play a greenside bunker shot when the sand is wet and packed down from a recent rain. Remember, playing a traditional "explosion" shot is not an option here.

Instead, hone your pitching technique and you'll be out of the soaked sand in no time!

In This Show You Will Learn:

Why you can't play a traditional "explosion shot" from packed, wet sand.

How to make a great pitch shot from a wet greenside bunker.

What to look for when you assess your lie in a rain-soaked sand trap.

It might come as a surprise but scoring well in the game of golf is far more determined by your bad shots than your good shots.  This is a concept that is often overlooked by many amateur golfers, causing them to focus too much on trying to hit "great shots" rather than working on reducing their "big misses."

In this episode of The Golf Podcast hosts Frank and Mike review a few things they've learned from analyzing their own golf games to try to find scoring opportunities.  Tune in as we discuss a few things you can do to identify and improve weaknesses in your golf game.

In This Show You Will Learn:
