Struggling with green speed? Try this, says LPGA pro →
“No one plays in more pro-ams than tour professionals, who often have at least one pro-am obligation during a given tournament week. These outings give the pros ample opportunity to network with their amateur partners and also, often, to teach.
Pro-am participants generally love to receive tips and instruction from their professional partners, and the pros are usually more than happy to offer some useful advice.
Because of their extensive pro-am experience, Tour pros have a great read on the issues many amateur players tend to struggle with during their rounds. At the LPGA’s recent tour stop in Arizona, I asked former U.S. Women’s Amateur champion and LPGA Tour player Emma Talley if she could identify an area in which amateur players tend to have a hard time.”
