Pitching - Making a Pitch Shot

After you make your long Tee Drive, you will hopefully be on the Fairway ready to make your next shot. On Par 4 holes, this will often leave you with a distance of about 100 yards to cover. This distance is often ideal in making a Pitch Shot. A Pitch Shot is an intermediate length Golf Shot made approximately 40-90 yards from the Green. The Pitch Shot is done with a Lofted Golf Club which may either be the Pitching Wedge (PW) or the Sand Wedge (SW). Irons 5 or 6 can be used for longer Pitch Shots. Learn how to do the Pitching technique in this section:

	STEP 1: Set up with a slightly Open Stance with your feet positioned at the left of the target line.
	STEP 2: Check the area first before hitting the Golf Ball. Shift your weight on your forward foot.
	STEP 3: Make a Back Swing. This can be waist-high or shoulder-high or you may need to do a Full Swing. It will be based on the type of shot you need to make. Slightly cock your wrist so you can create a downward blow on your shot. The back of your left hand and the clubface should face the front.
	STEP 4: In the follow-through, do not rotate your hands and the clubhead so you can keep the clubface square to the target longer and thus increase the probability that your ball will go up and keep its direction.

Remember that the goal in Pitching is to send the ball high in the air over the Rough or the Hazards. The Golf Ball will then have less roll when it lands. The higher your Golf Ball flies, the shorter roll it will have.
