Keep the Short Game Simple

[saevel25]

I was listening to Jordan's press conference for the US Open.

He was asked about the variety of short game shots that would be played, and if he would need to get creative. He basically said he'll use his two wedges and his putter for his short game. The he's going to take away the complications and keep it simple. He also talked about how he would use different start lines with his three clubs to get the ball close rather than try to maybe try a different shot he hasn't practiced before.

Lesson from The Master's Champion, keep it simple, don't complicate things. You have a better chance at playing a shot you practiced over trying to be overly inventive on the course.

But, what people REALLY want to know is what does Jordan think Hideki will use around the greens.

Have to agree to the KISS method when it comes to the short game. I learned that a long time ago, and is why I practice my short game so much. My chipping, and putting grip/stroke is the same, and I use the same grip on my pitches, with just a longer back swing. What ever wrist break I get, is enough. I get the same shot almost all the time. All that's left is reading the green, and picking a the correct landing area.
