Darin's Wedge Work Short Game Program
Tired of chunking or blading chips? You get around the green in regulations, have a fairly simple chip, and still leave the green with a bogey or double? It's frustrating, you can get the ball 400 yards down the hole in 2 shots but its takes you 3,4, even 5 shots to get it in the hole from 30 yards. I've got good news for you, this can be improved, you can start getting up and down more, you can start making more putts and, you can start shooting lower scores.
In program I cover all aspects of the short game to help you eliminate the bladed or chunked chips, start chipping it closer and, making more putts.
