When to Chip
February 9, 2010 by Admin
photo credit: mfury Definition: A chip shot flies low and runs after hitting the green. The chip shot, like the pitch shot, should be used with discretion and during the correct conditions. The time to consider executing a chip shot is when: 1) The Green is Relatively Hard > it's much harder to stop a ball on a hard green using a pitch shot. 2) Downhill Lie > It's more difficult to play a pitch shot from a downhill lie. 3) Windy Conditions > A higher shot is more susceptible to wind. 4) A Poor Lie > A chip shot is not as risky as a pitch shot. 5) Playing Under Stress > when playing under stress it's more difficult to hit a delicate pitch shot.
