    Great lesson and thank you. I understand the smaller muscles - hand/forearm/etc. - are the most affected by anxiety, so moving the "engine" towards the bigger muscles and basically taking the smaller ones out of the equation gives enormous confidence when you'd be otherwise a candidate for a miss. I think this was the biggest change for me years ago and got me from 12 to 4 in less than a year. New sub from Sydney and cheers - Dave

    The only thing I wish they could do is go to a course with dormant Bermuda and show how he would handle because brushing or bruising the grass is so hard for me to commit to until the grass greens up and then I feel like i'm a different golfer.

    Love the video. Best part of my game by far is chipping. I always assess the lie first and then pick my landing spot. I will also take a few practice swings to see where I ground the club, must graze the ground in front of the ball. This time of year we get very inconsistent lies in Ireland, sometimes just on wet mud. This is the hardest lie of all and requires maybe a 7i. The best tip I could give anyone is to not be afraid to mess 1 up. Even the pros mess some up. If you don’t put so much pressure on the shot, you’ll be more confident.
