LOB SHOT-TECHNIQUE
1) A sand wedge or a 60-degree lob wedge is the proper club to use for this shot.
2) Use an open stance with the ball forward, off the inside of your left foot, with your weight evenly distributed.

The lob shot is used to hit shots over an obstruction, bunker, etc., to a tight pin. Of all the shots you will hit from within the Scoring Zone, this is the shot that requires the most practice to perfect.

The lob shot will land softly and dribble to a stop. From tighter lies it will tend to kick to the right after its first bounce, so allow for that by aiming a bit to the left.
