“It honestly does not matter what your handicap is. The fastest and quickest way to get better at golf is to work on your short game,” she said in a video posted on X. “You need to be absolutely dialed 100 yards and in. Work on your chipping, work on your wedge game, work on your sand sH๏τs and especially on your putting.
“Most people don’t realize how long pros actually work on their short game. I’m talking hours and hours and hours dedicated, and I know we can’t do that. We don’t have the time or the patience honestly. But dedicating at least 25 minutes in your practice schedule to short game will be life-changing.”
Spiranac also weighed in on why having a solid short game is good for the long haul.

“And another benefit to having a good short game is it takes the pressure off of your full swing. And once you take the pressure off of your full swing, and because golf is so mental, you’re gonna free yourself up and hit more fairways and more greens.

“So, practicing your short game fixes everything.”
