The Situation: You’re in the fairway but the distance to the pin is just beyond what you normally hit your3-wood, and you really want to go for the green.
Why It’s Difficult: Your driver has the least amount of loft , so it’s hard to get the ball in the air with it when it’s not teed up. Plus ,if you do on the tee box, you’ll top it.
The Solution: The only way to get the ball into the air is to hit a cut. Play the ball off your left heel and aim 15 yards left of your target ,and think-about “picking” the ball clean off the carpet. Swing across the ball instead of down on it-feel like you’re pulling your right hand toward your left hip on the way down. That willl give you your cut and guard against taking to much turf.
