Chipping club or 8 iron

Same position as me, I should be shooting low 80s high 70s but my chipping has been letting me down. The cause is not accelerating through the ball.

Choose the shot that allows you to cover the distance but also accelerate through the shot. Trying to cosy it up with a limp whiff is never going to work!

Sometimes you will need a 56* SW, sometimes you will need to run it with a longer club. The three rules are:

1) If you can use a putter instead... DO!

2) Accelerate through the chip shot, done decelerate on the through swing or rush the back swing.

3) Do not try and hit the shot too far, club up instead but still swing within the putter stroke, yes it will go lower and run more, if you need to go high change to a pitch shot or a flop shot.

I am trying to learn these, remember the long vs short article in the last mag... Really it isnt about being good off the tee, its about how good at chipping and pitching you are!
