You'll pitch better if you don't hang back with David Leadbetter
Great advice to remember when hitting pitch shots is to swing through impact on a shallow angle, letting the bottom of the clubhead slide along the turf. Having said that, I've seen the application of this advice…

After a thoroughly enjoyable stint in Wicklow, I returned to the sunny southeast, specifically Faithlegg Hotel and Golf Club in Waterford. I had heard great things about the golf course which won the Golfers Guide to Ireland Parkland award for Munster 2020 so I thought to myself, why not take a spin down the M9 and check it out. The hotel is located just down the road from the Waterford Harbour and is steeped in history with many of the rooms portraying a story about the estate upon which it stands. My timekeeping left a lot to be desired as…
