In this section, Denis Pugh makes an introduction about pitching. Pitching is a skill that needs to be developed. Understanding the basics and fundamentals of pitching is not enough you have to have a touch on how far the ball is going to go. The flow to motion is key to have a good touch in pitching.
In this section, Denis Pugh presents a scenario
wherein the ball is 45 yards away from the hole and then move back down the
fairway. As he gets farther and farther from the hole, the swing gradually
lengthens and becomes faster as he tries to create a flow of motion that is
appropriate for the distance that is needed to cover to bring the ball into the
hole.
In this section, Denis Pugh talks about the two things that you need to do when practicing your pitching. Practice the fundamentals of pitching until you get it right and the second is to get the feel for the distance that you want to hit the ball.
