I GREW UP PLAYING ON A Par-3 course at Fargo Country Club in North Da- kota. It didn’t take much more than 30 minutes to play its nine holes, and my buddies and I would often get in four loops before the sun set. I miss that course because it was such great practice for my wedges. It’s where I learned how to subtract speed and vary the distance I hit each club and how to control the launch, spin and trajectory of the ball. It’s also where I developed my bread-and-butter, low-cut shot for accuracy. If there is one place amateurs can pick up strokes, it’s inside 100 metres where the majority of shots take place. Improve your wedge game and you will lower your scores in a hurry. Here are three of my biggest keys to help you do just that. – with dave allen
