Ball position in stance and divot questions
Hi Colin (and others),
I've been playing for 3 years now, and this year I decided it was time to finally get some instruction. I've had a couple of sessions so far, and I'm making progress.
I've got a couple of questions, though.
1. Where in my stance should the ball be at address for the various clubs? I've read Dave Pelz's short game bible and he recommends stance-center for wedge shots, in general. I've been using this as a generic guideline for all of my clubs, long irons and woods included. I suspect that I should vary the front-to-back position of the ball in my stance, depending on the length of club in my hands and type of shot, but I don't really know. Can you shed some light on this (newbie) question?
2. In general, I don't take much of a divot on my approach shots. Should I? I notice that a lot of pros seem to take a relatively large divot when they hit approach shots. Again, I suspect this is related to club lengh, shot type, and ball position, but I'd like some clarification.
Thanks in advance,
Grant
