Practicing the high lob shot with your mates when messing about on the range can be a lot of fun, however, successfully executing the shot when you're short sided and up against it on the course is a whole different level. 

Phil Akers, a senior teaching professional at the Belfry explains the technique you need to accurately perform this shot when the situation demands it.
