Golf Tip of the Week: The Pitch and Run

Last week, Darren Clarke conquered windy conditions to win the Open Championship by relying on a variation of the pitch and run—trusting his swing, landing the ball short of the green and letting it roll the rest of the way.

PGA professional Dennis McGavack of Mile Square Golf Course shows you how you can use a similar technique to your advantage even in the much different conditions we play in on this side of the pond.

For more information, or to contact Dennis or one of Mile Square's other teaching pros, visit Mile Square's website. And for all the latest news from the course, follow Mile Square on Facebook.
