Pitching Distance Tips by PGA Teaching Pro Ged Walters

When controlling the distance that you want to hit your pitch shots there are a number of ways that you can do it. Some of the common ones are using the clock face type of idea and things like that. Um, I like the feeling of how far my hands and arms are moving, let me explain.

So when I'm thinking about maybe hits it a 20 yard pitch off, for example, if my hands and arms are moving just past the visual of my trail leg, it's exactly how I would picture throwing the ball, that distance through the air.
