Famed within the sport for his flair for this shot, Henrik demonstrates ball position, set-up and swing, so you can hit more fairways in regulation next time you’re on the course.

Highly technical and difficult to master, the lob shot needs to come into play when there is little green in the run-up to the hole – near a bunker or water hazard. Martin Kaymer tells us the aspects that are required to ensure great execution: ball position, weight distribution and rhythm – plus a lot of practice.

Used in precision play at short distances, putting is essential if you want to pass the final hurdles when nearing the hole. This technique is crucial if you want to bring your scores down. From grip to green reading, golf pro Byeong-Hun An explains what goes into the perfect putt.
