The Texas Wedge Shot

When the fairway grass fronting the green is cut fairly low, there's no reason to chip. Instead, use this technique to play the "Texas wedge" shot with a putter: Play the ball a little farther back in your stance than you would normally when putting. Make your normal stroke; however, swing a trifle harder to allow for the fairway grass slowing down the speed of the putt.

Welcome to the official website of the Butch Harmon School of Golf at the Rio Secco Golf Club. I've been involved with this golf school project from the ground up and I truly believe we are creating the finest teaching facility and golf school in the world, right here in beautiful Las Vegas.

We have an incredibly beautiful and challenging golf course designed by Rees Jones. We have indoor and outdoor practice areas along with a 90 yard short game hole. Our golf school has state-of-the-art computer and video equipment to help analyze your unique swing. Most important of all, we have a teaching philosophy that began with my father, Claude Harmon, and has been honed by my family and my associates ever since. It's the philosophy that's based on helping you understand your own unique game.

Since the instruction is so individualized, it can work for players such as Tiger Woods, Darren Clarke and Mark Calcavecchia - all of whom have very different swings. It can also work for any amateur, at any age or level of ability, who is serious about improving his or her golf game.

Please browse through our website to obtain more information about our golf schools and packages.
