The runaway leader in the Rolex Women’s World Golf ranking, Nelly Korda, had a five-tourney win streak earlier this season — a surprising burst except to those who have followed her progress for the last several years. The 13-time tour winner and two-time major champ — and gold medal winner at the 2020 Summer Olympics — came out of the gate hot on the LPGA Tour, winning during her first pro season at the ripe age of 20 in the fall of 2018.

Copy these 4 moves from Nelly Korda to chip it close every time

A golf reporter was left red-raced when Scottie Scheffler responded to his question about why he shanked a bunker shot at the Tour Championship on Sunday. Despite his shocking wedge malfunction that led to a bogey on the short par-4 8th, Scheffler dusted himself down on the back nine and sprinted away for a deserved victory that saw him crowned FedEx Cup champion.

Using the same club to hit different distances is the calling card of a player. Once you get good at it, there’s absolutely no reason you can’t snuggle an iron close. Most rec players assume that taking off yards from a certain club is a matter of controlling the length of your backswing. My advice is to keep your backswing the same. Why complicate things? The trick is to combine your everyday backswing with a different type of finish, depending on how far you need to hit the ball.

Do you find yourself using the same chip-shot technique, with the same club, regardless of the shot you face? No matter where you are in your game-improvement journey, it’s common to fall into a one-dimensional routine as soon as you get around the green. Sometimes, we simply default to trying to execute the same shot with the club we’re most comfortable with — even if it’s not the best choice.

This fun drill will help you get more creative around the green

Don’t play with fire, Jack Nicklaus told Nick Faldo a few years back on national TV. Aim away from trouble, the 16-time major winner argued. The conversation started with Billy Horschel on the tee on the 186-yard, par-3 16th at Muirfield Village. His pin that day, during the third round of the 2022 Memorial, was cut 12 feet in on the green’s left side (and 39 feet in from the front), and a few yards left of the hole was a lake. In question, essentially, was whether Horschel, who’s right-handed, should flirt with the water to try to get his ball in close. Or play away from the drink.
