Choosing Between a High or Low Pitch Shot

PGA and LPGA Master Professional Alison Curdt shows how a lower lofted approach can often have a better chance of success than the high lob.

When a pin location is close to the front edge of the green, many golfers feel they need to hit a high lofted shot to access the hole location. You have other options, such as a lower pitch that banks into the front of the green, slows down, and rolls up to the pin. Which one should you choose?

Editor’s Note: Apologies for the inconsistent audio quality in Alison’s video. It was a very windy day!

How to Play a Flighted Wedge Shot

Flighted wedge shots can be really helpful when you want to get close to the pin from a good lie. Here are some keys from Alison Curdt to get you started.

Chipping with a Lower Lofted Wedge

LPGA and PGA Master Professional Alison Curdt shows when you're just short of the green and not too far from the pin don't take a wedge and try to hit it really high. Hit something low and let it roll up to the hole.

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
