Handling Grassy Lies
Golfers are taking the club for the yardage and worrying about the lie second. That’s backwards.
You absolutely have to consider how the ball is sitting first. Then, choose the correct club for the lie.
Choose the club that’s right for the lie. Yardage does not dictate club selection. The lie does.
Amateurs are guilty of using too little loft. If your ball is sitting down in the grass, I don’t care if the hole is a hundred miles away. Get out your eight iron!
Generally going for more loft is good when you’re in trouble.
I want you to reliably–not heroically–cover ground. It is better to relax and enjoyably cover some ground rather than risk wastefully duffing a shot.

Dear Santa, Please forward this to everyone you know, not just the golfers.
The author is Bob Madsen; 2017 PGA Teacher of the Year in the Southern Cal Section of the PGA of America. He is in San Diego and works with all levels of players: novice to elite, pro and amateur. He stated, “The majority of my clients, as it turns out, cannot break 90.” In response to this he has written this non-fiction golf book that takes about an hour to read and speaks to those golfers. It describes strategy and techniques average golfers are not currently aware of or are not using effectively enough. The information in this book is not available anywhere else. The concepts are easily understood and can be immediately implemented on the golf course. Regarding the book’s content, Coach Madsen said, “Average golfers have too many swing thoughts, try way too hard and think poorly. This booklet is designed to quickly put an end to this. It is a road map to scoring in the 80s and lower. Course management techniques used by pros in fact translate to all levels of players. This guide will benefit anyone who plays the game. Commit to Easy Bogey, have your scores improve, and begin right away to enjoy golf more than you ever dreamed possible.”
