Many players have a tendency to take too much turf when chipping, there is no need to do so since all that is required is to “nip” the ball. Don’t forget, a full swing set-up is not required when executing this type of shot.

Tips: 1) Keep the clubface more upright throughout the swing; do this by not bending your left wrist at address. 2) Stand closer to the ball; this will help keep your club more upright and allow for a straight back and through motion during the swing. 3) Make sure that the hands lead the clubface through the impact zone (one foot behind the ball).

The time to consider executing a chip shot is when: 1) The Green is Relatively Hard > it’s much harder to stop a ball on a hard green using a pitch shot. 2) Downhill Lie > It’s more difficult to play a pitch shot from a downhill lie. 3) Windy Conditions > A higher shot is more susceptible to wind. 4) A Poor Lie > A chip shot is not as risky as a pitch shot. 5) Playing Under Stress > when playing under stress it’s more difficult to hit a delicate pitch shot.
