How to get close with a 50 yard pitch

The 50 yard pitch shot shouldn’t be one of those 50/50 shots you’re not so sure about. It should be natural, automatic and fun! It’s all about control from this distance and if we have control we can create repetition and amazing scoring ability.

Our associated master professional Peter Cowen emphasises this control to his players and the importance of using natural club head speed and loft from this distance.

Follow these steps below:

This is an extremely useful shot to perfect and one that will give you lots of con dence when it comes to scoring. We want to create 100% con dence from this distance.
