THE SCORING ZONE MASTER CLASS: Inside 120 Yards + Three Sand Lies + Roll the Ball

Mike Malaska presents a comprehensive 'Scoring Zone' master class focused on shots inside 120 yards. He breaks down the essential setup for wedge play, the technical adjustments required for three distinct bunker lies, and a signature 'Roll the Line' putting drill to improve face control and speed consistency.

• Keep your weight on the lead leg for wedges to ensure the club bottoms out in front of the ball for cleaner contact.
• For bunker shots, use an open face for balls on top, a square face for half-buried lies, and a closed face (toe-in) for fully buried balls.
• The 'Roll the Line' putting drill provides immediate visual feedback on whether your clubface is square at impact.
• Avoid lateral weight shift on short wedge shots as it adds unnecessary variables that make distance control harder.
• Judging a putt's success by the quality of the roll and speed is more productive than just focusing on whether it went in.
