Open the Clubface

photo credit: rileyroxx Phil Mickelson is a master of the short game. As a boy of 6, he would spend the day in his backyard pitching golf balls in a water bucket. You may not be Phil Mickelson but you can learn to pitch well enough to make a big difference in your scores.
Forget about the lob wedges, just practice with the pitching wedge. Why only one club? Because by opening the face to various degrees you can turn in into a 60 degree lob wedge.
Technique: Hit 10 balls with your normal set-up position. Now, in your address position, open your clubface slightly and hit another 10 shots. Notice the higher trajectory as you open the face. Do not forget to swing harder as you gradually increase the loft of the club.
