Let's not beat around the bush today. If you're going to develop your short game, one of the most important things you can be focusing on is your distance control.

No big deal, if we can make it up and down, we might just save par here. I do know one thing, and that's that if we roll off the back of the green, we are going to end up either wet or sandy. This is where distance control comes in. If you've got the feel and you've put in the work, it's actually a fairly manageable situation. If you don't, well, that's where some of those extra strokes in your round might be coming from. Join Tim Graves, PGA, as he breaks down how you can improve your distance control in your short game.
