Started with a few pitches into a landing area made by 4 clubs. I hit a few good ones but caught a few thin. Why? Henning pitched a few. The answer was clear. He had clear divot marks. I had none.
I should strike the ball with a steeper descending blow - first ball than turf.
I should visualize the chip or the pitch just like a putt with landing area and roll.
Henning said a storey of the two German Golf instructors to be - 1 and 3 hcp. They both thinned their pitches. One was able to fix and attack ball steeper while the other continued thinning.
He asked what is more important steeper angle of attack or shift of weight. He made marks with his club on cement. result was that THE combination of the two is important. Played a few 6 irons and it was a great feeling to play golf with divots,
