Nick Faldo, some experts asked 1 way to cut lashes. Here are their answers

Think differently about success on shots on the green, says the young star.

Think differently about the club on the green, says the six-time major winner.

Think differently on the green, says a DP World Tour expert.

At least it makes you think, doesn't it? These three players, along with four others, were speaking this week in a video shared by the DP World Tour's social media team (which you can watch in full here), and the thoughts seem to follow a simple question: What is the best way to cut strokes in each round? However, the answers were rare. Gathering tips from experts is a fun activity, as we not only learn, but we get a little insight into what should be prioritized in the world.

But enough with the introduction of this story. Below are seven tips, with some thoughts below each other.

'Old School'

“So if you want to get one shot off, hit it old school with your 8 iron,” said Nick Faldo, a six-time winner. “Because it's good, especially if you lie on the side of the green, the ball lands a little on the ground. And you have this nice radius here, and you use it almost like a mini-rut iron. And I used to raise my hands, the weight is here [lifts right foot up] then I put the ball on my right toe. And I'm going to hit it off the toe because that's going to get that ball out of the little lie, see. And it's like putting. Here is your putting stroke. So it's just a little bit more – a brush stroke.”

Author's note: Remarkably, Faldo did not reach 60-degrees. The 8-iron can be a rock and roll game.

'Five percent'

“This is a way to lose one shot by controlling your expectations,” said Rasmus Hojgaard, a 23-year-old professional. “For us professionals, let's say we have a distance of 100 meters to the flag. If we can get it within five percent of the distance, which is about five meters or 15 feet, we will benefit from the hit achieved. So for us, if you think about it, hitting it within five feet, it doesn't look that good from the fairway, but you actually benefit the course by hitting it from that distance. So I thought for beginners to manage their expectations, don't think you have to hit it to 10 feet every time you have a wedge in your hand. It's a good rule of thumb to remember, if you hit it about five percent of the distance you have, you've hit a pretty good shot.”

Author's note: From old school thinking, to some new school math. This was really good.

'If you have a gun, it's used'

“This is a way to save one shot in each round,” said Connor Syme, a seven-year champion who plays on the DP World Tour. “You try to take out bunkers without playing, take out hazards without playing. Especially when you get a gun, use it to your advantage. So it can be a 3 wood on this tee so you always get a full shot on the green. And that way I can save one shot in the round. “

Author's note: Bombs and plows may not be compatible. But there's nothing wrong with playing it safe.

'Aim for the good side'

“This is a way to save one shot on the fairway,” said Adrian Otaegui, a 13-year champion on the DP World Tour. “I think for the students you can save one or more shots. Instead of aiming for the pin every time, aim in the positive direction. So obviously if the pin is hard to the left, you can point a little to the right. So if you miss a shot, you don't miss the wrong side and you don't lose the shot there.”

Author's note: Another thought to play it safe. Birds are beautiful. There is no doubling.

'Watch the speed'

“This is how I would advise a freshman to cut one shot off the green,” said Vincent Norrman, a four-time champion who has played the past two seasons on the PGA Tour. “I see a lot of fun lovers like the line and they slow down a lot. I would just advise you to be aware of the pace first before your reading and then try to get yourself into it. For these lag putts, just try and get an easy putt-putt, and if it goes in, that's a little. bonus.”

Author's note: There is more than one part to put.

'Don't be afraid to get the putter out'

“If I could help you save one shot on the green, don't be afraid to get the putter out,” said Tyrrell Hatton, a three-time Ryder Cupper. “Your worst putt is better than your worst chip. Use the putter. ”

Author's note: This game is a personal favorite of mine, especially when the grass is short and dry.

“This is how you can cut one shot out of your round,” said Marco Penge, a 26-year-old professional. “I think most beginners think they hit a 9-iron or an 8-iron more than they actually do. So I would recommend all beginner golfers to pick up an extra club and hopefully that helps.”
