It’s a single shot to the flag. You can tee your ball up and give yourself a perfect lie. This should be an opportunity to hit the green and set up a birdie putt. But for so many of us, par 3s are where it all goes wrong. Let’s change that.
Over the next few weeks, we’re going to give you three simple yet effective steps to improve your par 3 performance.
Step 1: Club selection
Coming up short is a common problem. But when you change your club selection and aiming strategy, you can go the distance.
Step 2: Tee height
Teeing the ball up too high and not using the tee box properly might not seem like a big deal, but it often leads to missed greens.
Step 3: Game management
Many golfers fall into the traps set by course designers when they go flag-hunting. But there’s a way to stay safe while still creating scoring opportunities.
What area of your game could we improve to help you lower your average score on par 3s?
