Too Much Distance

Another problem may be poor club selection. Try using a less lofted club and aim for a landing spot much nearer to you. Doing so, will allow the ball to run farther. Use the One-Third/Two-Thirds rule which is: Chip shots – one-third of the distance to the cup in the air and two-thirds on the ground. Pitch shots – two-thirds of the distance to the hole in the air and one-third on the ground. Practice these shots regularly !
