Definition

A golf shot played toward the green, typically from 50-150 yards, representing one of the most crucial scoring opportunities in golf and requiring precise distance control, trajectory management, and strategic target selection. Approach shots directly affect green-in-regulation statistics and scoring potential, making them essential skills for consistent golf performance. Understanding approach shot strategy helps golfers make better target selections, club choices, and risk-reward decisions that optimize scoring opportunities. Professional golfers spend considerable practice time on approach shots, recognizing their critical impact on tournament success. Approach shot accuracy often separates skilled golfers from recreational players and directly influences putting opportunities and overall scoring.
