BUTCH'S BASICS

If you're pitching from an upslope and the pin is close, you really benefit from the extra loft the hill provides. Still, amateurs tend to quit on this shot and leave it in the grass. You have to commit to making an aggressive swing, even though the shot is so short. This ball's going to go higher and land softer than you think, so commit to accelerating through the shot.
