high jump the schools cam mclnnes was fifth in the senior boys shot put while joanne crymble placed sixth in the senior girls shot put half shot can he a tough one to execute one of the toughest shots in golf is the half shot a half shot is anytime you are close enough to the green that you do not need a full swing it can be between 25 yards to 125 yards depend ing on your skill level this shot requires a tremendous amount of feel and since most of us dont practise this shot we dont perform well when confronted with it on the golf course the most common error is that your back swing is too long and your through swing is almost nonexistent anytime that your back swing is too long for the distance required you will have to slow down coming into the ball or you will hit it too far on par perry curiston flip your hands and hit the ball thin which sends the ball sailing to the other side of the green or to hit fat which sends the ball about five feet in front of you when hitting a half shot your through swing should be longer than your back swing this will allow you to hit aggressively down and through the ball when practicing this shot on the range experiment with different lengths of back swing this does not mean different speeds of back swing it means different lengths of back swing and take note of the distance you hit each shot with a quarter swing a half swing and a threequarters swing this tip is provided by perry curiston teaching professional at the angus glen this slowing down motion will cause you to golf academy in markham scoreboard whitchurchstouffville
