Three Things Not To Do When You Want To Pitch Over Water

There are a number of challenges that you might experience whenever you are playing golf. From time to time you will encounter different challenges depending on the course that you are playing on. It is important for you to think about this, so that when it’s all said and done, you will be in a good position to perfect your game by improving on the areas where you are struggling.

One of the biggest challenges that most players have is that they never really know what they are struggling with on the course. As a matter of fact this is a huge problem that affects so many players, and without knowing what your weaknesses are, you must realize that you will never really be able to improve on them.

A lot of people struggle when they need to pitch over water. Perhaps you might have even struggled with the same experience too at some point in time. What you have to realize is that it is possible to overcome the water pitch by avoiding some simple mistakes. The following are some of the things that you definitely need to be on the lookout for, and your experience on the course will be perfect:

• Standing too square
• Flexing the knees
• Ball position

Standing too square

One of the most common mistakes that players make when playing the pitch shot over water is to stand and keep their feet too square. This is only supposed to happen when you are playing a full swing. For this shot, try and ensure that you do not overly exaggerate your feet or the angle of the set up and you will be good to go.

Flexing the knees

You should try and make sure that you have your knees flexed – both of them to be precise. At the point of impact with the ball, pivot your body on the left knee, or the right knee for those who are left handed, so that you can strike the ball properly.

Ball position

The position of the ball is another thing that you need to take into consideration. Play the ball a bit forward. In the event that you are using one of the shorter irons for this stroke, make sure that you have the ball closer to your left foot than the right one.
