Being able to strike higher lofted fairway woods cleanly from the turf gives you a real advantage when out on he course. Being able to hit the green from a longer range will set up for a lower score by giving you more opportunity to hole putts for a lower score. But not striking your fairway woods well can leave you under a lot of pressure if you miss hit the golf ball so far out from the green. Here’s what to do to ensure you get a clean, crisp strike from the turf when you need it most with those fairway woods.

Are you doing this correctly when playing from the sand? If so you will be hitting lovely high bunker shots, but if not this may be why you are leaving the ball in the sand every time.
