Golf Tip: Pitching Rules to Remember

Into the Rough offers you these basic, yet important tips to help you pitch it close:
 

• The distance you need to cover is determined by the length of your backswing. Remember, always complete the swing. Once committed, complete the follow-through. 
• Better to be a little long (as long as it is safe back there) than flubbing the shot and not making the green.
• Don’t be an eager beaver to see the result of your shot.
• Keep your head down, eyes on the ball. 
• Don’t pick your head up until you have completed your follow through. 
• Placing the ball forward in your stance will create a higher trajectory. Placing the ball farther back in your stance will create a lower trajectory. Remember higher up shorter out, lower up longer out.
