A fat pitch shot occurs when your golf club digs into the ground before it makes contact with the ball. It results in the ball not travelling very far towards the hole and you’ll likely end up having to hit a similar shot for your next stroke.

So how do fat pitch shots happen in the first place? Because the low point of your swing arc is behind the ball. And why does that happen? Because your body weight is too far back.

For your pitch shots, make sure to keep your weight forward at address and make sure that as you swing you reach the impact position with your bodyweight ahead of the ball. That will ensure that your divot will start after contact with the ball, and not before.
