TIPS FROM THE PROS AT GEORGIA GOLF PERFORMANCE BECOME A MASTER OF THE PAR 3 It’s a single shot to the flag. You can tee your ball up and give yourself a perfect lie. This should be an opportunity to hit the green and set up a birdie putt. But for so many of us, par 3s are where it all goes wrong. Let’s change that. You want to give yourself the best chance of hitting the green on every par 3, but so many golfers lower their odds by selecting a club that gets them to the flag with a perfect strike. Step 1: Smarter Club Selection Select a club that, when hit really well, gets you to the back of the green. Your average ball strike likely gets you to the middle, and even a less than perfect strike has a chance of making it to the green. If there’s trouble behind, take the club that gets you to the middle on a good strike.
A Safer Way to Score When standing on the tee box of any par 3, your first thought should be "what’s the easiest and safest target I can go for?" Ignore the flag. Find the point on the green that gives you the most room for error. Step 3: Remove the Risk Very often, going for the flag on a par 3 increases risk. In this example, a slight miss when going for the flag puts you in the water hazard. It’s an all or nothing shot. But, if you aim for the larger area in the middle of the green, you’re only risking an up and down if you go long or fall short.
Set Yourself Up for Success Par 3s give you the opportunity to hit an ‘approach’ shot from a perfect lie. But many golfers aren’t taking advantage of that opportunity.
Improve your Par 3 Performance What area of your game could we improve to help you lower your average score on par 3s?
GEORGIA GOLF PERFORMANCE ADULT INSTRUCTION
Step 2: Tee Up Wisely When using an iron, the head of the tee should be just visible above the grass. This position increases your chances of finding the hitting zone and getting full distance on your shot.
Our GGP instructors are here to help players of all skill levels to improve their games and lower their scores. We create an individualized improvement plan to accomplish your golfing goals and personalize your practice routine to accelerate your golfing goal.
We see a lot of golfers tee their ball up way too high. This causes impact to be made higher on the face of the iron, outside of the hitting zone. Ball speed dips and you come up short.

GGP SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT STORIES GGP PERFORMANCE COACH SEAN FOX
GGP SENIOR INSTRUCTOR BLAKE STARK
"I have been working with Sean for just over six months now. During our sessions, Sean really taught me to appreciate the process of getting better and pushed me to be the best golfer I could be. I found the harder that I worked the harder he would work to stay up to date on my game, providing me with the tools and techniques to keep my progress moving forward. I have dropped almost 7 strokes off my handicap and am playing in my first tournament next week! If you are serious about getting better and you want someone that is serious about making you the best golfer you can be, I don’t think you could find someone better than Sean."
“My son Hudson who is now 7 started working with Coach Blake when he was around 6 years old. Within the last year we have moved from regular lessons to a coaching model, where Coach Blake works with Hudson every week, plays 9 holes each month, keeps his stats so we have blueprint, and comes to his tournaments to watch him compete.
- Patrick Nachtsheim
Patrick's handicap has gone from an 11.6 to a 6.1 as part of Sean's monthly coaching plan. You can reach Sean Fox at: 470-317-0213 SeanFoxGolf.com seanfox93@gmail.com
Blake’s coaching program and blueprint has taken his game to the next level; before coaching and just doing standard lessons Hudson had won 1 event that year. Once we began coaching this year Hudson has finished 1st or 2nd in all 7 events he has played except for 1, carrying a scoring average of 39. He also qualified for the Drive, Chip, and Putt that is hosted by the GSGA this year. We have created a great team between Blake being the head coach, me as the dad caddying, and Ryan Reid, his trainer/PT with ClubPT, this is known as "Team Hudson"! I would encourage any junior who has aspirations to play at a high level to join Coach Blake’s coaching program and have your own team created, like we do at Team Hudson! Most importantly, I expressed to Blake that Hudson has to first have fun, and have a great attitude or this wouldn’t work. So far Hudson’s maturity, attitude, along with him having fun, are continuing to trend upward, and playing great golf is a big bonus!!”
- Jeff Knapp, Hudson’s Dad
