21/05/2020 Duration: 20minMy long lost cousin (not really) John Mascari, Head Golf Professional at Alpine Country Club in New Jersey and the Co-Host of the On The Tee golf show, joins me. During the lockdown time in New Jersey John did a series of videos with his family called Live from John's Backyard, where he shared some of his favorite playing lessons. You can find them on his Twitter page @johnmascaripga. They are fantastic! During our conversation, John shares tips for how to hit a high chip shot that lands softly. He takes us through the process of how to choose between hitting a low running chip or a more lofted shot. He also shares why you should soften your grip on those shots versus using the same grip on every shot. John is a lot of fun, a great guy, and an even better Instructor. Follow him on social media and you'll quickly understand why I say that.
