Difficult Shots? Handle them our way!

by Mike in Golf Shots | Posted on January 26th, 2010 | 51 Comments

There are a number of strokes that you might be finding difficult to execute. This can happen because different golf courses have different grounds and layouts, and adjusting isn’t easy sometimes. To get you out of such situations, practicing your strokes is very important.

Taking difficult strokes as a challenge and trying to get through then successfully is something that you can definitely boast about when having a can of soda with your friends and fellow players. Also, these shots can be a hot topic for discussion after the game.

However, the truth is that not many recreational players go out there and practice these strokes. To help them, here is our list of difficult golf strokes and how to handle them…our way!

Plugged Bunker Shot
The complexity in this shot is that you can easily get the ball out of the bunker but you will fail if you try to get it closer to the hole as well. What you need to understand here is that the ball is in a pool of sand (or rather a hole) and when you hit it, it will come out considerably low. Because of this, the spin on the ball will be small and it will roll when it lands on the ground. To execute this stroke properly, close the face of your wedge and hit the sand which is very close to the ball in such a way that it comes out of the bunker.

Backhanded Shot
The complexity in this shot is that you have to stand on the side opposite to the one you take your stance on (with respect to the ball), facing away from the target. You have to do this when there is a bush, or a tree or even a slope which is preventing you from playing the stroke in your normal stance. This shot is difficult to play when you are planning to give it a considerable range. To get through it, turn your seven iron around and stand very close to your ball. Now, hit it with your dominant hand. You need to practice some swings in this position to get it right.

Downhill Chip Shot
Chipping downhill can also be difficult. What you need to understand is that you don’t need to hit the ball high. The slope will oppose it. To play this stroke, your shoulders must be angled with the slope. Next, make sure that your backswing is high and the follow through is low. Solid contact must be made with the ball.

Another tip we want to give is that use your putter for the shots which are close to the hole. Practice difficult shots if you want to be above others in the scorecard.
