James Ridyard delivers a masterclass in short-game skill, combining storytelling with technical insight to explain why so many golfers struggle around the greens.
Ridyard walks through his process of sitting players down and uncovering the psychological roots of short-game fear before they ever touch a club. He then breaks down the key technical factors — angle of attack, dynamic loft, club face control, and strike location — showing how these elements interact to produce different shots.
Highlights include live demonstrations of extreme steep-to-shallow transitions, a breakdown of why "tight lies" terrify most golfers, and practical drills to build genuine short-game skill rather than memorizing technique.
