etting up and down in golf is the big challenge everyone faces from the amateurs to the professional ranks but Greg Norman has previously given some solid advice out on how to manage it.

Norman, who is a two-time Open Championship winner, knows a thing or two about getting the ball in the hole.

Over a brilliant career, Norman won more than 85 times around the world and along with his two major wins, came up short in them another seven times.

Looking back, Norman was a genius for his generation really and looking at an old clip of his advice from the bunker and on the putting surface, he makes it sound so simple.

Greg Norman’s key tips for getting up and down from the bunker

As we’ve seen since the inception of LIV Golf, Greg Norman has never been shy on confidence and so when it comes to getting golf tips from him, he’s confident in his delivery.

In terms of getting the ball up and down, Norman was a master as his two Open wins show.

Indeed, listening to him explain the process, it appears Norman feels so much of it is in the mind.

“So you’re going to stay in behind the ball, keep your head steady and whip it through. Don’t be scared of the shot, if you’re scared of it, it will never work. Be positive and with a positive approach you’ll get it up and down without any problems,” Norman explained.

When it came to knocking the actual putt in, Norman then went on to explain how there really isn’t a hard and fast rule to being successful here.

“There are a couple of ways to grip the club, depending on how I feel each week. Sometimes I grip it more with my left hand underneath the putter. The back of the hand pointing to the ground. But sometimes if I’m feeling confident I’ll keep by hand nice and square to the hole, it just depends on how you feel.

“Putting is all feel, all in your hands, so go out there and experiment. We see some strange grips out on the golf course but they all work.”

The chipping tip Greg Norman picked up from Seve Ballesteros

As mentioned, Norman’s advice in his own clip is more geared towards the amateur golfer.

However, the professionals also learn off each other over time and speaking on chipping around the greens, Norman once explained how Seve Ballesteros helped him get better.

“Seve was probably the magician of the short game. He hit shots better than anybody else I’ve ever seen in my life. He hit shots that I had never even thought about seeing in my life,” Norman explained.

“But one of the things that Seve taught me the most, and it’s remained to this day, he said, make love to your hands when you put it on the golf club. More so in chipping than anything else.

“And what I mean by that is you have to caress the grip of the golf club. Do not choke it, do not white-knuckle it, just caress it. The more you have your hands soft on the grip, the easier it is for you to accelerate through the ball.

“Seve Ballesteros, who’s not with us anymore, gave me the greatest tip of all time that’s lasted for me to this day, which is make love to your hands when you put them on the golf club when you go to play a chip shot.”

Go away and practice what Norman is saying here, and you might just shave a few shots off the scorecard before 2026.
