I think the flop shot, lob wedge, is one of the hardest shots in golf. When it works, it is truly a sight to behold, and when it doesn’t – watch out! I have maybe three lob wedges in my garage, and every time I take one out to play I always regret that decision.

A common fault among new lady golfers seems to be the break down of the left elbow, where the club is lifted during the backswing by bending both elbows, a move that also results in very little body turn. Similarly, on the downswing the club is dropped and the arms are not fully extended, causing
