Few shots in golf are more frustrating than standing over a simple wedge shot and either chunking it short of the green or blading it over the back. The good news? Those two misses often come from many of the same mistakes. In this episode of Goforth & Golf, Steve breaks down the 5 biggest reasons golfers chunk and thin their wedge shots and, more importantly, what you can do to fix them. Steve covers low-point control, weight distribution, early release and scooping, deceleration, and the setup mistakes that can ruin your contact before the swing even begins. If you've ever wondered why your practice swings feel perfect but your wedge shots are unpredictable when the ball is actually there, this episode is for you. The goal is simple: fewer chunks, fewer blades, more solid contact—and more confidence every time you have a wedge in your hands. #golf #golftips #golfing #golfer #golfcourse Learn more about your ad choices.

Most golfers don’t miss greens because of a bad swing—they miss because they misjudge the distance.

You’ll learn why your “stock yardage” isn’t always reliable, how adrenaline and course management decisions can distort your perception, and the simple adjustments that can help you start hitting more greens with confidence.

You’re probably giving away way more shots than you think from 100 yards and in. Most golfers believe their driver or ball striking is the reason they can’t score lower… but the truth is, the real damage is happening where you’re supposed to score.

In this episode, Steve exposes where golfers are bleeding strokes inside 100 yards, why it happens, and how to finally turn that part of your game into a strength instead of a liability. If you’re tired of leaving shots out there, blowing scoring opportunities, and walking off the course knowing you should’ve shot lower, this episode will hit home. Clean up this part of your game and you can save multiple shots a round without changing your swing. If you want to score better, think smarter, and stop throwing away strokes where it matters most… you need this episode. www.golfergangnetwork.com www.goforthgolf.com www.crosscreekgolfclubsc.com www.taylormadegolf.com Learn more about your ad choices.
