Professional Golf Tip of the Month                                      Improving Your Chipping Game           

The two most common errors in chip shots are hitting behind the ball (chunk) and hitting the ball thin (skull shot).  Both have devastating outcomes and lead to higher scores and loss of confidence.

These shots are caused by hitting up on the shot in an attempt to help the ball in the air, rather than hitting down on the ball, squeezing the ball between the club face and the turf.  In order to improve your chipping game, you must improve the path into the ball by creating a steeper angle on the downswing.  You can do this by putting 60% of your weight on your forward leg (left leg for right-handed golfer), setting your hands ahead of the ball, and swinging the club in a more up and down motion.  In addition, it is very important to accelerate thru the shot.  Many players fail to accelerate due to lack of confidence.  Continue to work on these chipping fundamentals and your chipping game will surely improve.
