Whether you realize it or not, most trouble is short of the green. While some holes might have a bunker or water behind the green, most of the trouble is short.

Why?

Because greenskeepers know that most golfers end up short and thus put the trouble accordingly.

If you’re between clubs, pick the longer one in general (unless there is trouble long). Try not to pull the club that you must hit perfectly to reach the green.

After learning more course management inside the DECADE program, the numbers show that missing long is almost always better than short. This should cause more looks for birdies so you can score consistently better.

A reliable short game is vital to playing your best golf. Don't forget, the 3rd and 4th pillar to playing "wicked smart" is all about putting and wedges.

As Jon Rahm said, “My swing coach used to say that the short game is like the hospital; when your long game is sick, the hospital nurses you back to health.”

First let’s set some expectations from 2022-2023 season on the PGA Tour:

• 58.66 scrambling
• 55% from rough
• 51% from sand
• Average proximity 7’10

Yes, they're good but far from perfect. Once you have the right expectations, then you need to avoid the seven mistakes in this episode. When you listen, you will learn:

• The importance of a landing zone.
• How putting from the fringe can change your game.
• The biggest setup mistake most players make with short game.
• Why you need to be honest about your short game practice to play your best.
• The correct tempo for short game shots that leads to better shots and more consistency.

And a lot more.
