When out at the course with your friends or in tournament play, it's always crucial to hit the ball close to the pin. You
need to hit a longer iron into the green and let it release up to the hole.This way you don't have to hit it perfectly to get a good result.
 
Concentrate on the ball

There are some things to keep in mind when hitting long irons into the green. For the single digit handicap,it's always
recommended to hit a hybrid because they are easier to hit. Still, there are many times when you will go with a 3 or 4
iron. For instance, on the windy days you can keep the ball flight down and keep those shots in play.

My advise with the longer irons is to be as smooth as possible and concentrate on the ball. Especially, if you have a situation where there is trouble in play, like water. Make sure you take a little extra time with your swing, meaning that you need to make a smooth, full turn in your back swing and never rush the downswing. The essential key here is to keep your eyes on the ball through impact.

Stay with your shot

Most amateurs will try to lift the ball in the air because it doesn't look like they will have enough loft
to get the ball elevated. You have to trust it and stay with your shot through the impact zone. Keep in mind, you will be focused on the spot where the ball was sitting. Also, your body needs to stay down through the shot. Never lift up to help the ball into the air.

Weaken your grip pressure

There is one mistake that many golfers make that causes them to slice. They take a grip that is too strong. When taking your grip, make it slightly weaker than normal. You should notice this will keep the club on plane and prevent a hook shot. In turn this will keep the clubface open at impact, which will help to get the ball into the air without trying to scoop it.

Remember, if you weaken your grip you will need to aim a little left of your target line to compensate for a left to right trajectory. Also, make sure to swing smoothly and make a full turn. In conclusion, you need to be in shape to accomplish a full turn, and one way that will help any golfer is to get into a fitness routine to increase your shoulder turn and create more power.
