Luke Donald just won the Honda Classic by 2 shots over Geoff Ogilvy. It was his second win and has to be much sweeter than his first, which was a rain-shortened win while he was in the locker room. 2002 Farm Bureau classic, if my memory serves me well.
Back about October of ‘05, I remember reading about Luke’s mastery in hitting greens from over 200 yards. Seems like I remember him hitting about 60-65% of them and was about 5% ahead of his nearest competitior.
When asked about his keys to those shots, Luke brought up several keys that will help you and I hit more greens and score better.
1) Keep your lower body still
2) Let your arms do the swinging
3) Posture is critical
4) Right shoulder a little lower than left
5) Ball slightly forward in stance
6) Butt of club points at left armpit
7) Wide swing arc
Hybrid clubs are better than traditional long irons
If a 5′9″, 160 lb. Englishman who paints can beat the bombers out there on tour today from 200 yards out, we all need to listen to his advice.
