approach shots make all the difference
Metro
Getting to the green on par (one shot for a par 3, two for a par 4, and three for a par 5) is not an easy thing to achieve for the average golfer. Even the best professional players manage to maintain a 70 percent success rate with difficulty. That is why it is so important to get good results from your approach shots.

Any expert will tell you that the game around the green is one of the most important, if not the most important element of your golf game. Well- executed approach shots can help you play on par or reduce your score by the end of the round.
In a radius of 25 to 35 metres from the green, the choice of club should take into account the presence or absence of obstacles, the slope of the green, and the position of the flag.
If your ball is positioned right behind
a sand trap you will have to lob the ball and limit its roll. A pitching wedge or sand wedge would be appropriate for this type of shot. The fluidity of the swing and the position (a little closer to the ball with a swinging movement) are the two elements needed for a successful shot. Before hitting the ball, be sure to visualize the spot where you want the ball to land.
If no obstacle is present, use the club which you are most comfortable with. Near the green, a short swing with a 4 or 5 iron will enable you to roll the ball near the target.
Be particularly careful to avoid a hesitant swing and plan to spend some time on the practice range in order to work on your “short” game. This is guaranteed to have a positive effect on your score card.
