In this section, Denis Pugh talks about the 3 fundamentals of a short game and its common mistakes. Balance is an important fundamental, if you are about to hit the ball and you balance is moving around all over the place you are going to have trouble hitting the ball solid on impact. When your balance is off there are only two shots that you can either make, the fat shot and the thin shot. Leverage is also fundamental in short game and it is defined as the way you use your arms, wrist and shaft during a swing. Never ever flick the wrist when you are playing short game. The third fundamental is the angle that the club comes down into the ball. If your club is coming to vertical you are going to stab into the ground and if the angle is too flat you will hit the ball thin.

In this section, Denis Pugh talks about the glue that sticks together balance, leverage and angle which is the motion. A good player feels the motion on the golf swing while a bad player doesn’t. The correct motion is an accelerating club. To get good control of the distance that the ball will travel the club has to swing through the shot.
