Chipping

Last month I covered putting and received many great comments. This month I will tackle chipping. Chipping is defined as any short shot where ball rolls more than flies. Chipping from a good lie can give you a great chance of saving a stroke. Here are the essentials. 1. Position the golf ball adjacent to your right toe. 2. Lean the shaft forward toward the target opposite your left thigh. 3. Position the majority of your body weight on your left foot. 4. Keep the grip end of the club in front of the club head through the entire motion. That is it for the technique. A very simple solution to a shot that causes some people a lot of problems. Good luck and good golfing!

Skying the Ball

Quick Tip -- Having trouble skying the ball? Try putting more weight on your right foot at address. This will allow you to swing into the ball at a much more shallow angle. Good luck!
