Discover the Secrets to the Beginner’s Short Game

Posted on February 23, 2016

The short game is extremely important to becoming a competent golfer. Smashing the driver is always a lot of fun but if you want to improve your game start closer to the hole and work your way back. Since solid contact is our number one objective, hitting the ball straight and far we need to make contact in the middle of the club face each time. Or at least close to the bulls eye. Begin with a pitching wedge, sand wedge or 9 iron.

Why do I like to begin newer golfers with the short game swing. Grip, tension, balance and feeling how the club swings around your body. You will experience less tension in the short game because distance is taken out of the equation. You can focus on making the correct grip.  The short game is usually played with a swing below the waist. The club traveling on a clock from 9 o’clock to three o’clock. In the video below, you will see how the golf club needs to swing. Never hitting or trying to help the ball into the air.

Use the club and brush the grass to the side of the golf ball. Do not restrict any motion of your body. You will see in the video how the weight moves slightly to the front foot because of the club swinging forward the weight will move forward. We are always seeking balance and allowing the club to swing with out adding anything extra will give any player the best opportunity to make solid impact allowing the ball to travel the correct distance. The less tension the better. You should be able to softly hold the club in the fingers of your hands.

This motion and result will build confidence in any player especially the beginner golfer. Continuously getting the ball in the air and flying in the direction of the target is so important. You will have more fun and lower your scores.

Jess Frank has mastered the art of teaching golf. He uses a combination of modern tech and hands on instruction to pinpoint where a player needs improvement and then works through the problems until the skill has been learned. Jess is patient and really takes the time to know his students so that he can develop a plan tailored to their needs. My swing has improved 100 fold since starting with Jess and I know it will only get better.

Jess is very good at honing in on what one needs to improve their swing; not a complete overhaul or needless focus on elements that wouldn’t make a meaningful impact. I found Jess by asking another golf pro who she thinks is the best teaching pro and why. I’ve taken several lessons from several different pros and rank Jess highly. You’ve come to the right place for golf lessons!

Jess is very knowledgeable, pleasant and comfortable to work with. He immediately identified some major flaws in my swing and had me hitting the ball straight in just one session. I have a few lessons left and I cant wait to see how my game continues to improve with his input!

Just took my first lesson and can’t wait to take my next! We identified my main issue, and are already well into correcting it after 1 hour of work. I recommend Jess if your looking to improve your game.

I've been playing the game for 3 year, been through a few golf coaches. All good in their own ways but what stands out with Jess Frank is his ability to identify the challenge in the golf swing and begin to hone into a step by step solution that is not overwhelming. Whats most impressive is that I can take what I learned and duplicate it on the course. I highly reccomend Jess to anyone that is looking to take their game to the next level.
