THE SHORT GAME CHIP IT CLOSE FROM ANY LIE

Scramble pars like a Tour pro with England Golf coach Chris Jenkins' eight-page guide to saving your score around the greens.

Forget hitting the ball miles down the middle of the fairway. There's nothing more satisfying in golf than pulling off an amazing recovery shot from around the green.

As any Tour pro will tell you, the quickest way to lower your scores week in, week out is to develop a razor sharp short game. Missing greens is an inevitable part of golf - even for the world's best - so if you can nullify the effects of errant approach shots, you'll see your handicap tumble.

Over the next few pages, leading coach Chris Jenkins demonstrates the techniques and strategies you'll need to sharpen up around the greens.

If you can introduce the techniques demonstrated into your game over the next few months and dedicate some time for regular practice, you're going to notice a huge improvement in your scrambling and a marked difference in your scoring this summer.
