The
Short Game of Phil Mickelson
The short game of Phil Mickelson
by Dave Pelz
Because
Phil Mickelson is driving the ball farther, he’s hitting
more wedge shots than he ever has in his career. But he
needs to do more. It’s a time in golf where people
are getting better and better and where they are realizing
that the old standards don’t apply to them anymore.
To combat the big hitters, designers are also lengthening
all the courses and making the fairways narrower. So now
you have to hit straighter as well as longer. It’s
certainly a game where the longer you drive it, the better.
Gamble when the gamble pays off and don’t gamble when
even a heroic shot is not going to pay off...
