Park In-bi's 'Weekend Golfer Green Strategy'... "Try It This Way"

The Center of the Green, Not the Pin, Shorter Club Than a Long One

Weekend golfers get excited when their tee shot lands on the fairway. They raise their voices, thinking a birdie opportunity has arrived. They grab an iron and take an ambitious shot, but the ball flies off in the wrong direction. They struggle as they end up in bunkers and roughs around the green. The moment a birdie turns into a bogey.

Park In-bee advised, "For amateur golfers, aim for the center of the green rather than the pin, and use shorter clubs instead of long clubs to target the green."

It is important to heed the advice of golf queen Park In-bi. Whenever Park In-bi plays rounds with amateur golfers, she offers tips on how to approach the green. First, she advises not to aim directly at the pin. Park said, "Even if the pin position looks easy, there are traps," and added, "You should aim for the center of the green rather than the pin to increase the chances of landing on the green." The calculation is that if you safely get on the green and then make two putts, you can make par.

Next is club selection. When there is an awkward distance left with irons, golfers often hesitate about which club to choose. Park strongly recommends using a shorter club. She emphasized, "Don’t use a long club trying to get on the green," and said, "If you drop the ball near the green with a short club and then make an approach shot, your score can improve." Generally, it is not easy to make an approach shot if you end up in the rough behind the green. According to Park’s experience, it is easier to get the ball close to the pin from the front of the green.

Park In-bi is a ‘career grand slammer’ with 21 wins on the LPGA Tour, including seven major championships. In 2016, she won the gold medal at the Rio Olympics, becoming a ‘career golden slammer.’ Park is not a long hitter. She dominated the world women’s golf scene with precise iron shots and outstanding putting skills. Park is currently taking a break ahead of giving birth next month.
