LOW RUNNING SHOT
When I have a lot of green to play with and the flag is on a plateau, this is when I would consider using this shot. when you have a plateau to play to you don't want to pitch it directly on the plateau, because you could find it difficult to stop your ball rolling off the green into deeper trouble.
Play this shot planning your landing spot and the amount of run you need. Play the ball off the center of your stance, with weight o left and your hands slightly ahead of the ball. This technique is similar to that required for the low, spinning shot. Only this time you use your pitching wedge instead of your sand wedge.
Open your club face and stance just a little. This delofts the pitching wedge and allows the ball to fly out low. Stand Closer to the ball and aim to hit to the sand about half inch behind the ball. If you did this with your sand wedge the ball would bite, but the loft of the pitching wedge will send it running on the green.
Next we will go over Long Bunker Shots,
Until next time, Don't be afraid of the beach and learn to play in the sand......
