ASK THE PRO

Question :
From : Wes H . How do I warm up for a range practice session ?
Answer :
Too often I see golfers come to the range and start swinging full speed at the very first ball they hit . This is not the way to warm up . Start with a wedge and softly pitch a few balls 40-50 yards . Once your loose , start making some bigger swings . From there you can work your way up the bag .
Question :
From : Joe T .. What factors should be considered before deciding to putt or chip from the fringe ?
Answer :
Another great question . A few things to consider would be how much fringe do I have to go through , does the fringe seems smooth / rough / wet & how far do I have to the cup . I would recommend finding each of these situations to consider and practice each one . Try chipping & putting each one and see what you feel was easier for you to achieve a good result .
