How To Simplify Your Golf Chipping!

Although
having a great golf short game around the greens and being able to play
perfect
chip shots every time will to some degree rely on you having
excellent feel and soft touch, there are ways that you can simplify the
golf chipping process and thus help to make life a lot easier for
yourself.
One of the most common mistakes that the average
golfer tends to make quite frequently when it comes to golf
chipping is
that they tend to use the same golf club (i.e. a wedge or sand wedge)
for every single chip shot, whether it's up hill, down hill, a short
distance or a long approach to the pin.
Although many amateur
golfers would argue the fact that they often gain more confidence and
feel by using the same club for every single golf chip shot, in
reality, you will find that you are going to need exceptional feel and
touch to make this kind of approach effective and consistent on a
regular basis. |
Sometimes you may be faced
with a short chip shot that requires you to get the golf
ball up in the air
quickly and land it with little roll, because you have minimal green to
work with, and on other occasions you will have a much greater distance
to cover, so will need to fly the golf ball much further in the air to
reach your intended target.
You will also have to contend with
up hill, down hill and sloping green scenarios. So if you are only
using the one club for all of these golf chipping conditions, just
imagine how many different kind of golf
chipping techniques you will
need to master and how much feel will be required, to enable you to
accurately play these shots every time!!
To simplify your golf
chipping experience and make life a little less complicated for
yourself, you should try using more of the golf
clubs in your bag. The
varying lofts of each of the golf clubs will enable you to use one
simple golf chipping technique that is easy to learn and will produce
consistent and reliable results.
I would recommend spending
some time at your local practice golf chipping area or try and get
yourself a
good quality golf
chipping net so you can practice at home. Take a 6,
7, 8 & 9 iron and practice using the same length back swing and
follow through, so you get a feel for how much carry and run you get
with each club.
A good golf chipping tip to remember is that the
quicker you can get the ball rolling on the green, the more consistent
and accurate your results will ultimately be. The margin for error
dramatically reduces the longer the golf ball has to stay in the air
and the longer your back swing has to be!
If you are serious about improving your
golf chips shots and looking for some inspirational advice on how to
take your short game and golf chipping to the next level, then i would
recommend that you get a copy of Phil
Mickelson's excellent golf
instructional book called 'Secrets
Of The Short Game'
