I cannot remember the number of times I have talked about producing spin on the ball around the green. I am okay at this skill, but I would never consider myself an expert. I understand the concept of placing spin on the ball and in my mind this transfer to a soft touch during contact. It might seem like a stretch for many players who find it challenging to land the ball softly in their landing area. Regardless of where your thoughts are, it is important to understand that having the ability to place spin on the ball (even slightly) helps us control the ball all the way to the end result.
