If you want to shoot lower scores this season, it starts inside 125 yards. In this episode, Michael breaks down 7 essential wedge tips that will help you hit it closer, save more pars, and finally take advantage of your scoring clubs.

You'll learn how to build confidence with your wedges, eliminate wasted shots, and turn your short game into a true weapon.

What You'll Learn:

• Play the right wedges for your swing – not just what the pros use. Learn how bounce, grind, and loft affect every shot you hit.

• Ball position secrets (Charlie B method) – how a simple setup tweak can change your contact and spin.

• Why your weight should stay forward (60% or more) – the #1 key to crisp contact and consistency.

• Full swing vs. short game routine – how to simplify your process and build confidence on partial shots.

• Be okay with 20-footers – and why Tour pros miss more greens than you think. (We'll share real stats that'll change your expectations instantly.)

• The power of wedge practice – why spending more time inside 125 yards can lower your scores faster than swing changes ever will.

And a lot more.
