Butch Harmon tips to save your short game

Butch Harmon has coached some of the best golfers the world have ever seen.  While the small tweaks someone like Phil Mickelson has to make in his game are nothing compared to what us hacks need to work on, the fundamentals of the swing are the same for virtually everyone. The slideshow which I have linked to below has some tips for each of 5 different types of short-game shots from Butch Harmon.

"I've been fortunate to work with some of the best short-game players ever--guys like Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Jose Maria Olazabal. What I've learned from these players is that greatness around the green comes from always picking the right shot, then totally committing to it. No second-guessing it, no flipping or scooping at impact. If you commit and make a positive swing, you're virtually guaranteed to do three things right: (1) accelerate through the ball; (2) shift to your front foot; and (3) deliver the same clubface loft at impact as you set down at address. "
