Step Three: Wedge Scoring Zone [Sam Goulden Golf]

Learning to consistently create solid contact in golf in three steps. You need to learn a consistent, solid impact through a three step process. First you groove solid contact in a small swing. Then you build that into a half-swing. Finally you make a full turn to compress the ball fully and launch it with a flighted trajectory.
The Square to Square swing by Sam Goulden Golf makes all shots - putting, chipping, pitching, bunkers (sand traps), wedges, irons, hybrids, fairway woods, and drivers - simple and consistent by exposing the essential ingredient to solid and consistent contact. Sam Goulden is a strategy, mental, and performance coach. He teaches all levels of golfer from age 4 to 84.

Three great lesson videos ! Common sense and well put over !

[@g.workingman4598]

You've got a great swing 👍

[@stevelovelace1426]

Videos are very nice. One suggestion ... and, it's just that .... face the sun when filming. You are in the shadows so there is no clarity to your body position, or the ball position. Just my opinion.

Hey Sam! Thanks for the great content! You mention your carry distances on all but your full turn (3rd position) 60 degree and Gap Wedge. What are these distances and did these numbers change when you went to your one length clubs?

Hi Sam,
Any chance of you giving lessons?... I would love to learn and understand the game. Just being playing for 9 months and willing to learn. Please let me know...

Hi Seilogo, I give lessons at my studio in Manhattan Beach, CA. I also have many online options on samgouldengolf.club/

Without a caddie, how would you meassure the distance, +/- up and down slope around the green? Any advice???

[@breeze787]

A rangefinder or a golf gps comes to mind. A rangefinder is more accurate a gps requires some mental calculation. You know distance to the front middle and back of the green and then find out where the flag is, front middle or back.

So initially you set your 1st position for your SW results in a 49yd shot yet when you executed the shot you actually went into the 2nd position with your lead arm at 90 degrees. So which is it? You said from position 1 that your SW is roughly 49yds then proceeded to hit it 46yds from position 2. So you actually came up short by 25yds or so for your intended distance from position 2. 7:03 is position 2 instead of position 1. 3:32 is actually your 1st position. When you actually showed left arm parallel at 7:29 looks to be position 3 actually. Lead arm is much higher than parallel and hit it 75yds. At 7:50 for position 3 is barely above (maybe 6") what you just executed for position 2 yet hit it 100yds. Just goes to show the big difference of feel vs real truly is. Love the concept but be careful of teaching those positions if you yourself don't hit them.
