Comments on: 30 Day Challenge – Day 6: Can I hit more greens in regulation? http://www.zenchili.com/2010/02/17/30-day-challenge-day-6-increase-hit-greens-regulation/ For any golfer who wants to play great golf Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:24:08 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Zen Chili http://www.zenchili.com/2010/02/17/30-day-challenge-day-6-increase-hit-greens-regulation/comment-page-1/#comment-786 Zen Chili Wed, 05 May 2010 16:02:05 +0000 http://www.zenchili.com/?p=842#comment-786 @Pinehurst Golfer: That certainly is good advice. Most amateurs pick the wrong clubs because they don't really know how far they hit them, and they often think their best shots are their average distances. Getting on the green and 2 putting is a very good strategy, especially since most shots that do land on the green won't be inside of 10 feet. You're right though, in the process of trying to get the ball close, most amateurs end up selecting the wrong club and hitting a poor shot to a target with a low margin for error. As they say on the golf channel, they try to get too cute with it. Happens on chips, pitches and bunker shots as well. @Pinehurst Golfer: That certainly is good advice.

When I learn to hit more GIRs my handicap will come way down. I was expected to read that you advise better club selection - so that we amateurs hot the middle of the green and 2 put instead of trying to get the ball close every time.
