Fat Shots Technique

To golfers; ping g15 irons

We are playing golf we should pay more attention to some details and improve technique then we can do it well.

(Editor's Notes: A fat shot occurs when the club hits the ground too soon, creating a cushion of dirt and grass in-between the clubface and the ball, essentially killing the shot. The tips below are written by instructor Roger Gunn from the perspective of a right-hander; lefties should reverse the directional elements.)

Diagnosing Fat Shots

Grip

Not normally a factor with fat shots.

Set-up

Your weight might be too far to the right and/or your right shoulder might be too low at address. Your aim could be too far to the right.

Ball Position

The ball might be too far forward (toward the left foot) in your stance.

Backswing

You might be taking the club too far inside, away from the target line. Your posture should remain the same without leaning toward the ball or lowering your head.

Downswing

You might be too far to the right on the downswing. Keep your posture without lowering your head toward the ball. Shift your weight! You should have some 80-percent of your weight on the front foot at impact.

a joke?Dinner out.

Friends of ours invited the wife and I out to dinner. Although it
turned out to be a topless restaurant, my wife was a pretty
good sport and pretended to enjoy the evening.

On the way home though, even the defrosters at full force
wouldn't keep the windshield from icing over on her side of the
car.

"Awwwww come on." I said. "It wasn't that bad."

"Your ordering didn't help matters." she said fuming.

"What ?" I replied. "I only ordered a dozen oysters."

"ONE AT A TIME ?!?!?!" she yelled.
