I always use a broken tee. It gives it a slight bit of height but it's not so high as to hit the top part of the face. It also helps for hitting the center of the face. For me anyway

Great tips as usual matt. I think I used to underestimate the par3s but after developing an occasional shank with my irons, a par3 strikes fear in to me 🙄🙄

Excellent video as always. Your idea of having different coloured flags is a good one and one I always use depending on the severity of the hole. Play away from the hole if the severity of the miss is too great. You must also know your club yardages aswell. Play for the easiest part of the green which suits your shot shape. Have a good weekend and look forward to your next video.

That was really good.

Do you have any videos explaining the how, when, and why we might use a hybrid club?

One interesting thing is that the handicap for most par 3's are usually the highest on most courses. I've always thought that a bit short sited because the are sometimes the hardest holes on the course.

I've been practicing par3s a lot this year and have been smashing them just recently.

Been golf today and definitely been putting my ball to high on a tee so Gonna change that seemed like I was hitting it a club short was going that high 😂

Good grief the tee height is a massive tip ! I've always used a red castle tee for my irons now I understand why some don't always reach while other shots did with the same club leaving out the slope and wind factor .. I'm changing my tees to wooden ones long & short thanks Matt great video xx

This video is so true.

I play a lot of par 3 nine hole courses so I am very used to them. I find long par 4’s the most difficult.

Great advice! Give me a par 5 any day!

I learned when I first started to play, Par 3's are always the hardest. I've also always aim for the big open spot not the flag pole. Yes, would like to be as close as possible but, easier to putt off the green than it is the higher grass. As for using "tee's", it depends on how I want my shot to be, for me, I tend to have a heavier club, tee up high, have the ball drop almost straight down if I have to go for a "tight" shot. Am I correct, doubtful but, it works for me, may not work for you or others and vice versa. I'll start trying to lower my tee's from now and see what I get. Great video, cheers :)

Great video! Par 5s and par 3s are my favorite. Jack Nicklaus always said that he rarely went after the flags on par 3s because center of green was always the safe shot. Loving the tips and would enjoy a video on selecting a PGA pro to learn from. Currently I am 0-3 as I have gotten good information from them but never want to work with them again due to their personality.

There is a par 3 executive (All holes are Par 3) 9-hole course near where i live and it is actually considered one of the hardest course in the area.

When I tee up a short iron shot I usually make the tee height line up with the bottom groove on my club, I'm not a pro but this works for me.

I specialise in taking 5 shots on par 3s. Really useful video...but what was distracting you to your right? I did some media training in the dim and distant past. Rule number 1...dont look away from the lens! This is why many politicians look shifty...(and they may well be). Looking forward to getting on the course and practicing these tips. Good work!

Matt, question for you. Should we go a club longer off a tee with an iron as opposed to hitting that same iron off the deck? That's assuming the ball's not teed too high in the first place. I struggle hitting irons off a tee.

Hi Matt. I enjoy your videos but would you agree that a high handicapper might be better always aiming for the centre of the green ,allowing for wind etc?

I always use a red castle for 5 irons,32mm. May drop down as i'm sure I'm hitting it high off the face as you say. Thanks

he is absolutely correct, a few year ago in AZ I played a 90 yards par 3, very easy shot (NOT), I had 6 on it :-( , do not underestimate par 3s

I saw Arnold Palmer on the Johnny Carson show back in the 70's and the question came up about teeing the ball up on par 3's. Arnold responded this game is hard enough so whenever your allowed to tee it up, tee it up and forget about what your seeing the pros do.

You're allowed to position the ball two (2) club lengths behind the tee markers. Use that area to find the most level ground and better target angle. Even a better shot angle can be found within the width of relatively narrow markers.

Great video. I’d also add another bit of humble advice. And that is to be honest with yourself about how far you actually carry each club. Leave the ego in the car park with your AirPods. I see way too many people trying to absolutely hammer an 8 iron and mess it up, rather than a controlled swing with a 7 or even a 6 depending on if the flags at the back of the green. So be honest with yourself, forget about impressing your playing partners with pulling a shorter club than them, and impress them instead with a smooth swing and an accurate shot followed by a birdie putt!

For the average golfers I always tell them par 3s are the easiest par 4 you will ever play. Get greedy and you can make 6 and blow up your round pretty easy.

The par 3 at the course I play at are terrifying no where to miss left and right ob and they are back to back no drop area 😢

I'd also suggest that, if it's a shot hole or conditions, (howling wind etc.) make it a much harder hole than normal, don't be embarrassed about laying up on a par three.

Imagine this video in 3 years from now. "...welcome back to a brand new video" 😂 Great content though!

Personally, I think the reason the pros don't have a great par-3 scoring average is because the courses they play on make most of them unfair. I would have to hit driver most of the time, and I still might come up short on some. There are some short par-3s, but they are generally very dangerous holes, like 17 at Sawgrass or 7 at Pebble Beach. If the pros usually encountered 145-yard par-3s with little danger and greens that weren't rock-hard, their scoring average would be under 2.5.

@CruceEntertainment

Жыл бұрын

Not unfair, just difficult. Either they are very long, or have lots of trouble. Usually both. Pros are rarely hitting their approach shots on Par 4’s and 5’s the kind of distance they have to hit from on Par 3’s.

Tough

Golf: Where the "2 feet away" usually happens when it doesn't matter. Every golfer understands why you want to zoom in on that shot. And you'll be thinking all day about why that shot didn't happen in a tourney or scramble the last time you played that hole then you'll be pissed if you don't replicate that shot the next time. God I hate this game I've been playing for 40 years and spent thousands on and can't wait to play again.
