Many professional golfers say that accuracy from 100 yards and in is the biggest reason amateurs can’t lower their scores.

This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek breaks down the backswing into four separate positions. Each move and position will signify a carry yardage that golfers can think about when trying to pitch with more accuracy.

Great golfers such as Lydia Ko, Jordan Spieth and Steve Stricker have practiced this method.

Every golfer’s yardage will be different and this should be practiced on the range before taking it to the course.

Putting seems easy in theory, but golfers know that the smallest mistakes can leave you with the most unpredictable outcomes.

This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek explains the importance of shaft lean at address when putting to determine where the face is pointed when the ball is hit.

Many golfers fail to pay attention to the direction that the putter lies at address. Some may only recognize manipulating the face, but the error stems from the shaft lean. This will help minimize errors in the direction of your putts.
