Chipping

The Chip and Run Shot is one of the first shots that I teach beginner golfers.  It is a shot that all golfers need to be good at.  It is a shot that is used every time you just miss the putting surface and end up around the green.  Not only is it easy to execute but it is very versatile and can be played with any number of clubs.

Follow these simple steps:

		Start with your weight well forward and you feet close together
		Grip low on the club
		Move the hands forward over your leading leg with the shaft leaning toward the target
		Use a swinging motion with the arms hands and club back and forth similar to a putting stroke.
		Work on a ratio of  1/3 air time 2/3 ground time for all clubs from SW to 6 iron
		Find out how far the ball will run with each club

Make time to practice this shot.
