Club selection is key. Instead of using a sand wedge, try a pitching wedge and take a three-quarter swing taking some loft off the club. The ball flies lower but runs more to the target, leaving you closer to the pin than a sand wedge.

You want to play this shot as a normal pitch shot. Address the ball with a slightly open stance so that the left side (right-handers) are enabled to clear through impact and but make sure the club face is aimed directly at the target. Be sure to position the ball toward the middle of the stance.

So there you have it. Position the ball toward the middle of the stance. Make sure the left arm and shaft are straight. Aim the club face at intended target. Use the three-quarter swing. Accurate pitching helps produce lower scores.
