Approach Shots & Par-3 Management (120 Yards and In)

Master the Scoring Zone with Mevo+ Data and Tour-Proven Strategy

Golfers gain (or lose) the most strokes from inside 120 yards, particularly with their golf approach shots. I teach approach play and par-3 strategy by utilizing a blend of Mevo+ data analysis, motion analysis, and course-management coaching, all designed to enhance the shots that matter most.

A full diagnostic combining path, AOA, spin, strike patterns, and strategic tendencies to build a custom improvement plan.

Master the Scoring Zone with Mevo+ Data and Tour-Proven Strategy

Inside my Mevo+ gazebo studio, I analyze the club-head motion that defines elite wedge play, essential for executing effective golf approach shots: 


- Path 

- Angle of attack 

- Dynamic loft 

- Clubhead speed 

- Spin rate & spin loft 

- Launch direction 

- Strike quality 


These parameters determine your distance windows, trajectory control, and ability to stop the ball near the target, which is crucial for a solid par-3 strategy. 


Using Mevo+ data analysis and Swing Profile automated video, I refine your wedge technique and help you develop a repeatable, predictable motion—one that produces: 


- Solid contact 

- Flighted wedges 

- Consistent carry numbers 

- Elimination of fat-thin patterns 

- Less guesswork on the course 


You’ll walk away with a trusted wedge blueprint that you can bring to every round, ensuring you're well-prepared for all your golf approach shots.

Par-3 Management

Tour-Level Strategy Using Virtual PGA Tour Holes

Par-3s expose weaknesses in decision-making more than any other hole. Using famous virtual PGA Tour par-3 setups, I teach you how to choose smarter targets for your golf approach shots, avoid high-risk misses, and play the hole the way the best players in the world do.


No video or swing analysis is needed here—this is pure golf IQ training, built around realistic scenarios where every yard and landing zone matters.


What You’ll Learn


How to select the smartest target for your shot pattern

When to attack and when to play conservative

How to adjust for wind, green depth, elevation, and hazards

How to choose the correct miss zone

How to eliminate “short-sided” mistakes

How to build stress-free pars and create real birdie chances


Why It Works


By practicing with tour-proven par-3 visuals and utilizing Mevo+ data analysis, you learn how to make better decisions under real playing conditions. This training improves scoring quickly because par-3s are often the most penal—and most easily improved—holes on the course.
