Fat Chip Shots

photo credit: SouthAsiaGolf     You can have difficulty with chip shots if you approach them with your normal set-up.   Many players have a tendency to take too much turf when chipping, there is no need to do so since all that is required is to “nip” the ball.   Don't forget, a full swing set-up is not required when executing this type of shot.

Tips:   1)   Keep the clubface more upright throughout the swing; do this by not bending your left  wrist at address.   2)   Stand  closer to the ball; this will help keep your club more upright and allow for a straight back and through  motion during the swing.   3)   Make sure that the hands lead the clubface through the impact zone (one foot behind the ball).
