Hard pan or a tight lie can be a more challenging shot as opposed to the ball sitting on a nice plush fairway. This shot can be played with a couple of simple tips.
1. You must have a good set-up
2. Keep your knees steady and the flex consistent
3. Allow your knees to move down the target line in your down swing.
4. Choose the proper loft, without opening the club face too much
5. Swing your arms and hands for the distance you need fly the ball.
6.Practice to get your feel
These are a few simple tips, but if you have more questions concerning your pitching or chipping, consult your local PGA Teaching Professional.
