The short game can be one of the most challenging aspects of golf. Difficult lies and atypical situations often call for deviation from a standard shot. However, there is one fundamental concept that golfers must keep in mind when trying to improve this aspect of their game. The most important concept is that the shoulders should always be parallel to the target line.

This is a universal rule for any shot in golf. While situations in the short game vary greatly from those of a drive or a fairway shot, the principle of keeping the shoulders parallel still applies. Instead of pointing your shoulders at the target, you should always keep them parallel to the target.
