hello all , as it says how do u setup and hit a approach shot so when it hit the green it rolls out some ? just about all my approach shot hit the green and either hop a foot and stop dead or even backs up a little . sometimes I would like my approach shot to release and roll out . how do u setup and execute a shot like this ?

make an easier swing so you don't generate as much spin?

Well it seems you are spinning the ball quite a bit. The obvious answer is to play to your spin and just hit it further and dont count on any roll. Depending on how far out you are, you could always switch to a lower lofted club and choke down for a nice bump with roll. The higher the trajectory, the more your ball will want to stay where it lands...especially with spin. You could always do what I do and just hit it thin on accident and cuss til you want to throw up. Your choice tho!

Use the correct club for the shot.

You are obviously using a club with too high a loft.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Hit a lower lofted club with an easier swing. It should fly lower with less spin. Both will help it run out a bit.

    • Yes.  Did he not hit the range before the round? When my first few pre-round drives aren't what I expect, the first thing I check is my driver settings, in case they changed.  I am on my second adjustable driver and I am still not trusting that golf gremlins don't change it between rounds. The second thing I check is my alignment and setup, and that is far more often the culprit than my settings. In any case, there are some simple things that I imagine should be on a professional player's pre-round checklist that I am surprised when they aren't.  One of those is the settings for any adjustable clubs. 
    • It was also set at B1 at a previous event, and… so there's dubiousness around whether he's telling the truth (again).
