Short Game Masterclass: Parker McLachlin "The Short Game Chef" Essential Tips

Key Points to take away from this great video with Parker!: Common Amateur Issues: Players often try to over-compress the golf ball on small shots. Typical setup mistakes include: Ball positioned too far back. Handle excessively forward. Weight heavily shifted forward. These setups generate too much ball speed, leading to compensations (e.g., backing out, releasing early, or poor pivoting). Stock Shot Setup: Ball Position: Slightly forward of center. Shaft: Neutral to slightly forward (about 1° lean). Clubface: Slightly open to engage the bounce. Feet: Close together, neutral stance for better control. Spine: Neutral and stacked over the hips for balanced movement. Weight: Slightly forward at address (~55% front foot). In-Swing Dynamics: Backswing: Maintain synchronization between arms and torso; avoid "dragging" the trail elbow back. Downswing: Pressure shifts toward the lead foot but with active pushing off the trail foot for control. Follow-Through: Club stays in front of the body, avoiding excessive rolling of the clubface or exaggerated hand movements. Key Drills and Adjustments: Trail Hand-Only Swings: Helps develop proper arm movement without independent or excessive elbow motion. Step-Through Drill: Encourages moving through the shot dynamically, especially for players who tend to hang back. Critical Concepts: Inside 30 yards, focus less on perfect ball-first contact and compression, and more on control and rhythm. Proper setup unlocks fluid, dynamic movement toward the target. Ball speed is crucial for controlling shot distance, even if contact isn't perfect. Aim for simplicity: build a reliable stock shot and make minor adjustments for specialty shots. Summary: Set up neutrally and allow for fluid, dynamic motion through the shot. Proper setup and movement toward the target prevent compensations and unlock consistency in ball speed, control, and trajectory.
