The punch shot is your ticket out of trouble. And it’s a breeze to pull off.

The Great Escape

This applies to weekend golfers and PGA and LPGA Tour professionals alike. So regardless of skill level, the goal of every golfer should be to build an escape strategy that not only gets you out of trouble, but gets you into a better position than you would have been in had your last swing not been a bad one. This keeps the damage caused be a poor swing to less than a stroke.

The two keys to achieving this goal are to a) make sure your club head makes clean contact with the ball, and b) select a safe escape route to your target that’s ahead of where you would have been with a better swing.
