My chipping is the best part of my game I think, which isn't very complimentary when you see the rest!

I have a 47, 54 & 60, from 100 yards and in I never like to hit a full shot, I find I get much more control from an easier swing.

Around the green, using your imagination to visualise the shot is key for me

Any time I use my 60 I use my hands a lot for the shot, I find that's better for getting height, for other shots I like to take the hands out of it and trap the ball to get more spin and keep the ball lower down.

Bump and runs are crucial if you're playing links golf, they're a lot more like putts for me though
