Strike & Flight Short Game School
Presented by Miller Golf Coaching
About Our Short Game Golf School
"Our goal is to help you develop a short game that consistently lowers your scores and builds confidence. We'll follow a simple process that focuses on making smart decisions, visualizing successful shots, and selecting the right club for the shot in hand. We'll start by accessing the shot - consider the risk and reward, and the conditions around us - before checking the lie and predicting how the ball will react.
Next, we'll choose a club that best fits the shot we've envisioned and execute it with confidence. Remember, fundamentally the correct technique breads feel, so as we refine your skills, you'll not only get better, you'll feel your short game is more in control. By keeping track of your progress and reviewing successes, you'll continue to grow your short game and lower those scores. Let's go to work and make your short game the best part of your game!"
