Wedge Matrix® Short Game
Control every shot inside 100 yards.
What is Wedge Matrix®?
Wedge Matrix is a systematic short-game development framework that organises every shot inside 100 yards into a logical, learnable system. Rather than practising random chip shots and hoping something sticks, Wedge Matrix gives you a structured shot menu — with known distances, trajectories, and execution patterns — so you always know exactly what shot you're hitting and why.
The system covers the full short-game spectrum: from delicate chips to full wedge shots, high-spinning lob approaches to low-running bump-and-runs, and sand play to pressure pitches. As a certified Wedge Matrix instructor, Linh builds your shot library systematically, using a launch monitor to verify distance gaps and trajectory, rather than relying on feel alone.
Short game improvement is statistically the fastest route to lower scores for most amateur golfers. The ability to get up and down from around the green — consistently converting your opportunities — is what separates golfers who shoot 80 from those who shoot 90.
Book Short Game SessionWhat you gain
- ✓Know your exact distances — you'll have verified carry distances for every wedge shot in your repertoire, from full swings to partial shots.
- ✓Build a reliable shot menu — a library of practiced shots you can call on under pressure, rather than improvising every time.
- ✓Convert more up-and-downs — getting the ball close from around the green consistently is a repeatable skill, not luck.
- ✓Eliminate wasted strokes — chunked chips, thin pitches, and bladed bunker shots are technique failures that can be fixed systematically.
- ✓Gain confidence under pressure — knowing you have the shots for every situation changes how you play approach shots and take risks.
Who takes Wedge Matrix lessons?
The golfer who struggles around the green
Chunking, thinning, or just inconsistently executing short-game shots is the single biggest source of wasted strokes for most golfers. Wedge Matrix provides a technical framework that makes the short game systematic rather than mysterious.
The player wanting the fastest handicap reduction
If you want to lower your handicap as quickly as possible, the short game is statistically where the most strokes are available. Improving from 50% to 60% up-and-down conversion saves more shots per round than any other single skill improvement.
The competitive player who "leaves shots out there"
You hit the ball well but your short game doesn't match your iron play. You know you're leaving strokes out there around the greens on every round. Wedge Matrix closes that gap systematically.
What to expect
Wedge Matrix coaching is methodical and measurable. You leave every session knowing more than when you arrived.
Distance Gapping with Launch Monitor
Using a launch monitor, Linh maps your current wedge distances across all your short-game clubs and shot types. Many golfers discover significant distance overlaps or gaps they were unaware of. This data becomes the foundation for building your shot menu.
Shot Library Building
Working through the Wedge Matrix framework, you develop and refine specific shots for each distance and trajectory category in your game. Each shot is practiced to a standard, verified with data, and recorded as a reference. Your shot library grows session by session.
On-Course Chip/Pitch Scenarios
Taking the shot library out of the practice environment and into real lie, slope, and wind conditions. Linh sets up scenario-based practice around the short game area and eventually on-course, teaching you to select and execute the right shot for each situation under realistic pressure.
Bunker Technique
Sand play receives dedicated attention as one of the most anxiety-producing shots in golf for most amateurs. Linh covers greenside bunker fundamentals, distance control from sand, and plugged-lie technique — until the bunker shot becomes a preferred option rather than something to dread.
