Short Game
From 120 yards in is where rounds are made. Pitching, chipping, bunker play, flop shots, wedge systems, and spin control — taught with method.
Short Game sits at the heart of the ResortGolfer library. Our editors have organized the material below for golfers at every level — from first-time players curious about the fundamentals to mid-handicappers refining a system that already works.
Every page in this cluster is reviewed by playing professionals or PGA-certified instructors, cross-referenced against published research where applicable, and updated as equipment, rules, and tour-level data evolve.
Use the topic grid below as your entry point. Each card opens a deeper guide with practice drills, video references, and links to adjacent material across the site.
