Most golfers just aimlessly hit wedges at one target. đź‘€
The key is to build a system so your short game travels to the course.
Here’s a 4-step practice plan you can save and follow:
1. Setup & Ball Position
Ball just slightly back of center for lower shots, slightly forward for higher flights.
Weight: 60–65% on lead foot for crisp contact.
Hands: slightly ahead of ball, clubface neutral unless you’re working on open-face shots.
2. Distance Control Ladder
Pick 3 targets (30, 50, 70 yards).
Hit 3 balls to each, track how close you get.
Outcome: Learn to dial in yardages instead of guessing.
3. Trajectory Practice
Same target, 3 different shots: low, medium, high.
Feel the difference in ball position, shaft lean, and weight shift.
4. Randomize
Never hit the same shot twice in a row.
Pretend you’re on the course — different distances, lies, and shapes.
Outcome: Builds confidence and adaptability under pressure.
The feel: Smooth tempo, brush the turf, don’t “hit down hard.” Imagine tossing the ball underhand to your target.
Save this for your next practice session and build a wedge system that actually lowers your scores. Tag a friend who needs to stop wasting range time.

I feel your pain🔥
What do you really want to be? đź‘€
So many societal pressures and ultimately none of it matters if the things that really count aren’t there.

To the mothers mothering in 2026, you make this world go round🔥
What does it mean to be a mom in 2026?
It means more than anyone tells you. Carrying the weight of what a “good mom” is supposed to look like while showing up fully in your career, your relationships, and somehow still trying to remember who you are.
It’s a lot. More than it should be.
I don’t have a hack for that. But I want you to know I see you. I understand it. And I believe that how you show up, imperfectly and fully, is quietly rewriting what motherhood looks like for the next generation.
Don’t shrink into what the world expects.
Happy Mother’s Day

recap🔥
This is will ALWAYS be a special oneđź’•
Shoutout to my family who is ALWAYS there, my students and members at thank you!
Thank you for the opportunities you bring to your members. This was a dream come true!
You practice all week and then it falls apart on the course. Save these COURSE NOTES!
Here’s why: your body defaults to tension when it’s uncomfortable. Tighter grip. Shorter backswing. Rushing the downswing. It’s not a technique problem, it’s a pressure response.
The fix isn’t more reps. It’s learning what your swing feels like when you’re calm, and training that version.
That’s the one that shows up when it counts.
