James Sieckmann, director of instruction at The Golf Academy at Shadow Ridge Country Club in Omaha, Neb., discusses the intricacies of the short game.

Sieckmann has previously been selected to Golf Digest’s “50 Best Teachers In America” list and is author of “Your Short Game Solution: Mastering The Finesse Game from 120 Yards and Inand “Your Putting Solution: A Tour Proven Approach to Mastering the Greens.”

He shares three components about the short game that were completely opposite of what he had initially been taught and breaks down the process that he teaches his players, how they can learn from their mistakes, and how they can become more intelligent to taking the feedback from their practices and using that out on the course.
