When it comes to perfecting your short game in golf, accuracy is the first word that comes to mind.

We asked Angel Gómez, Director of Vidanta Golf, for his insight on the topic to help you bring big change to your short game. “You can hit harder or longer, but if you don't hit accurately around the green, you'll miss the points. The short game–that's where the money is.

Gómez explains that this aspect of the game is so essential that pro golf players commit half of the training time on the course solely to improving their chipping, pitching, and putting skills.

He recommends considering these critical aspects during your short-game practice:
• Properly exercising the muscles used for this game stage
• Paying attention to the weight shift in your stance
• Using the appropriate grip force on your wedge or putt club
• Aiming for a loose swing
• And finding that feeling for the perfect approaching stroke.

And, of course, hard work yields better results when you train in excellent golf facilities. For your optimum performance, Vidanta Golf Academy in Nuevo Vallarta offers state-of-the-art simulators, short-game practice areas, personalized training, and club fitting.
