"In my experience, if you stay with the essentials you WILL build a repeatable swing undoubtedly. If you can master the Imperatives you have a champion" (Vikram).
The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
Trying not to hit into a hazard tends to produce massive bailouts ! I select the spot I want to the ball to land and try to land it there. I always liked Johnny “the Mormon Mouth” Miller’s traffic light shot selection system. I think it terms of ABC. A - I can pull it off 20% of the time B - 60% C - 90%+
Story: I once watched a really good player hook three consecutive 5 irons out of bounds. The thing was it was a long par 4 and an especially tough driving hole. The idea was to play it like a par 41/2, or something. He proceeded to make three scared swings. Watching this implosion unfold before my eyes, I put my 2 iron back in the bag and laced my best drive of the day!
The key is not so much about moving it towards or away from trouble, but rather focusing on where you want the ball to land. If you like to hit a draw, you gotta start it right and visa versa I tend to drive the ball better on tree lined courses, as opposed to the links-type layouts. Why? My target is better defined for me. Scared golf is not much fun.
Maybe Hennybogan, or the other tour caddies could weigh in on this one
Avoid fancy play. The harder the shot, the more you should hit your stock shot. The better you hit it, the more you see your target, and the less you see the trouble.
