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

It begins along taking a narrow and open your stance. Next, at address, be sure your clubface is open ... and by open, I mean very open. The ball is attending fly where the clubface is facing, so aim your feet and berms well to the left of your target.

Now, play the ball forward in your stance (up by your front toe) and stand a bit additional away, with your hands lined up behind the ball. In the end, break the wrists early on the back swing, and increase the speed of your hands and wrists on the swing on these shots. (You need speed to pop the ball up into the air on these lob shots.)

On the PGA Tour, watch Tiger and Phil hit these shots around the greens, they have controlled these shots to perfection. With a little practice you can, too.
