Rough Fringe Nip

10-20 min Solo Golf Balls, Tees
Setup
Choose a ball resting just into the fringe/first cut with minimal green to work with. Mark a 10–12 foot target.
Drill Instructions
Set slightly steeper with weight forward and hover the heel fractionally off the turf. Make a firm, descending strike with minimal shaft lean to use the bounce. Land the ball just on and let check-and-release control distance.
Goal
5/10 inside 3 feet from first-cut snags; 2/10 holed is elite.
Make It Easier
Add more green and choose a fluffier lie.
Coach Tip
Feel the leading edge brush then bounce; the heel-off address keeps the toe from grabbing.
Make It Harder
Short-sided target to a downhill pin; require 6/10 inside 3 feet.
Avoid
Getting too steep and digging the leading edge.
