Another “cheat” I use is tee height. Suppose you’re on a par 3 and you’re in between clubs. I find that if I tee it up a little higher than normal, I tend to hit higher on the face and the ball doesn’t travel as far.
Another good shot to have in the bag is being able to punch a 3 wood or long iron when you’re under some trees and need to keep the ball low and can’t do a full back swing but need to advance it down the fairway. Of course, if you can put it in the fairway to begin with, you wouldn’t need this shot.

Rick,

I recommend the Tour Tempo Total Game app.

Best,

Not sure what you think would help an average senior golfer but willing to pay $25.
Thanks

I can definitely relate to this kind of shot making.

Holes ranged in yardage from 180 to 100 with a good variety in between. I’d take just a 6 iron, a lob wedge, and a putter. Learning to hit all the way down to 100 yards with my 180 yard club was a game changer as far as shot making when you are on a real course with a full bag. Kind of took me back to when I learned to play and only had a 3w,7i,pw,and putter.

Another tool I add to the toolbox is varying ball position. I have found that in addition to needing in-between yardages, I often need different shot shapes to get around trees I inevitably find myself in. I think this is different than “shaping” the ball on demand like hitting draws and fades to attack pins. I’m not that good so I tend to hit a stock draw 95% of the time, but I know, for example, putting the ball a “ball” or two back in my stance and hitting punch shots from that position results in low slices so I can rely on a low slice whenever I need it.
