Best thing to do i think (and this is what i did) i got my lob wedge out went to practice ground and got 5 balls. Using half 1/4 swing back, i tried to hit the ball as hard/far as i could, and when it only went like 30 40 yards it got rid of the fear (o no i dont want to send it to far)

We only bottle the follow through because we are afraid of sticking the ball through the area we want it. Once you know the furthest point you can send the ball with your 1/4 1/2 and 3/4 swings you'll not bottle it. for example

20 yard shot over bunker for me would be a 60* 1/4 swing. I know at most i could send that maybe 30 yards so i wont bottle it.

No chance to try this Saturday as everyman and his dog were out. Chipping area and putting green were like Kings X at rush hour.
We have a short leg on the par 5 15th that's only used in winter and I wanted to use that. unfortunately the pro didn't like that idea, so I'll just have to start round the back 9 and get detoured one evening.
