yuk yuk

seems to be a problem with me at times ... nice drives , middle of the fairway and YUK
long game is tip top , short game is decent , even putting well .... but keep hitting my 8, 9, and wedges FAT !

Let's hear some tips

When this happens to me, it mostly due to being too quick on my backswing. Generally, a fast backswing can lead to a deceleration of the club during the downswing, which can cause you to hit behind the ball.

bingo ...thats the feel too bam bam and its all over

I'll try and relax and make the swing last

You could try putting the ball just a little further forward in your stance. If you have got into a habit of having the ball too far back then your swing will be steep with most of your weight on your back foot, this could be the cause of hitting the short sticks a bit fat. hope this helps.

If you swing fast with the rest of your clubs then that shouldn't be a problem.

Where do you position the ball?

I have the same problem. On short par 4's, I can hit an amazing tee shot. Leave myself with 100 yards or less and I'll shank the second shot. This especially happens if I have a shot where I can't take a full swing.

Nice round last nite ... and no fat or mishits on short irons and I had a bunch of them
Just slowed down the takeaway and boom , nice high short iron shots
