Once you have decided how you are going to play your chip shot and selected a club, it is time to make the shot and hopefully get the ball close to the hole. As stated last week, it is perfectly normal to take a few practice swings to get the “feel” of the shot you want to play. Let’s look some more at the mechanics of the swing used in chipping.

The majority of players, when faced with a chip of 20 yards or less from the hole, grab the most lofted club in the bag and swing away. For those of you that practice this shot a great deal, this is not a bad idea. My daughter played NCAA Division I golf and used this shot exclusively. It helped that she spent many hours practicing.
