Almost 80% Answer 'Weak at Approach Shots'! Chicken Golf Investigates Common Issues for Golfers Aiming to Break 100

Clear Co., Ltd., operator of the semi-personal golf lesson service 'Chicken Golf', conducted a survey of 300 golfers in their 20s and older regarding approach shots. The results revealed that while 96.3% recognize approach shots as crucial for breaking a score of 100, approximately 80% struggle with them. The most common weak distance is 20-30 yards, with frequent mistakes being falling short or hitting behind the ball (duffing). The main causes for lack of improvement are cited as a poor sense of distance and insufficient practice. The company emphasizes the importance of mastering basic pitch-and-run techniques to improve the approach success rate.
