Lower swing speed… did my score drop too? Watch full round on YouTube 🔥
Jim Venetos from the Jim Venetos Golf Academy demonstrates how a lower swing speed and a simplified swing philosophy can lead to better scoring and more greens in regulation. He showcases a 171-yard approach using a 7-wood and emphasizes the importance of effective lag putting for a 'limited skill set' approach.
Lowering your swing speed can lead to more consistent contact and predictable ball flight.
Using higher-lofted woods (like a 7-wood) for long approaches can provide more control and a softer landing than long irons.
Focus on landing the ball short of the green on firm conditions to allow it to roll toward the hole.
Prioritize lag putting on large greens to secure easy two-putts and avoid three-putt disasters.
Adopting a 'limited skill set' mentality helps simplify the game and reduce unforced errors.
