Get down in two
Choosing the right tool for the job

When you need to get up and down, the type of shot you play will depend on your lie and distance from the green. But identifying the shot is only half the job, you’ll also need to choose the right club.

When you’re playing from a greenside bunker or from a heavy lie close to the green, a chip shot with a 54° to 56° wedge is your go-to.

You often have distances that leave you in-between clubs. These distances require you to be able to play half- and three-quarter shots into the green. These shots require practice. If you’re unsure how to do that, we can show you.

Learn half shots

If you’re on the fringe of the green and the hole is still a long way off, you could play a bump-and-run with a long iron or metalwood.

To get up and over something, like a bunker, and stop the ball soon after it lands, the flop shot with a 60° wedge is a great option. If you’re unable to play a flop shot, let’s change that.

Learn to flop

We’ll also need to ensure that the bounce and grind on your wedges is appropriate for your swing type and the turf conditions. Once we’ve fitted this correctly, you’re going to find it easier to make more crisp contact on your wedge shots.

Let’s transform your greenside experience

While it’s important to have the right greenside tools in your bag, it’s just as important to know how to use them. That’s where a short game assessment with us can be transformational. Get down in two more often.
