- Learning a new set of physical skills
- The crucial element of the pivot in the short game
- Why you don’t have time to ‘save’ the shot in the short game in the way you do in the long game
- The difference between CLASSICAL chipping and MODERN chipping
- The debate between STEEP and SHALLOW, using the leading edge or using the bounce
- What is the real truth and is it a combination of the two
- The law of forward shaft lean and the low point
- How to turn your skills into SHOTS
- Taking your short game skills to the course
