The flop shot is one of the most highlighted in golf. Although it should not be the first choice, it is sometimes the best option. If you play enough golf, you’ll be presented a short sided position around the green where going up is the best play. And by learning to play this shot, you’ll enhance your shot library and find your typical pitch shots a bit easier to perform. Get the club face very open, widen the stance and commit to stay aggressive with the swing. Enjoy the process of learning this shot!
