Pitch or roll to the green on close lies
William Mehlhorn, 1924 Western Open champion, advises that on a close lie with true fairway, pitching and running to the green is generally safer than a ground roll. Exceptions exist for holes with peculiar conditions where rolling is easier. For longer distances, the pitch offers better control than a ground shot.
