Hello friends, welcome back to another Chippin’ Chewsday, innit? Tempo, tempo…

Tempo! Your golf swing, your full swing, has a very unique tempo. Doesn’t matter what it is, it’s yours, it’s beautiful, and you’re beautiful and I love you. One of the things that can really make the short game harder is having golf swings that take different amounts of time to complete. Having your full swing tempo one way then having to time a different length swing can make the game much harder than it needs to be. If all of your swings have the same rhythm from takeaway to impact, it can make those shorter swings much easier to time. Next time you’re at the range, take account of your tempo that the full swing takes you. Try using that for your pitch and chip shots, and especially your half and three-quarter swings. The shorter the swing is, the slower you want the takeaway, so that that swing has the same timing your full swing does, or so at least they’re not so drastically different. If you can get to a place where all of your swings throughout the round have the same exact tempo and timing, you can be much more consistent with your wedges in those all-important scoring shots.
