I am going to give you some insight into why you struggle with those tiny little chip shots around the green. It doesn’t matter if you have a great lie or not, if you will go through these steps you will begin to consistently make ball-turf contact.

The first thing you have to remember is that a chip shot is a shot that fly’s 1/3 of the way to the hole in the air and then 2/3 of the way on the ground. The reason I mention that is because club selection is very important.

A great tip to remember is: when your ball is in the front of the green and the pin is in front of the green you should chip with a 9 iron, in the middle of the green use your 7 iron and if the pin is in the back of the green use a 5 iron.

If you are on the backside of the green and the chip is going downhill you should use a 9 iron if the pin is in the back or middle of the green and a 7 iron if the pin is down in front.

Now that you have selected a club let’s get down to business. The first step is to make sure you are aiming the clubface where you want the ball to start. Once you have aimed the clubface it is time to address the golf ball with your feet, knees, hips and shoulders aiming parallel to your ball flight line.

With the golf ball in the center of your stance place the clubface square to the golf ball. The bottom edge of the golf club should be perpendicular to your ball flight line. At this point the golf ball should be placed in the center of your stance. Make sure that you grip down on the shaft a couple of inches at this point.

The next couple of steps are crucial in your ability to make ball-turf contact more consistently.

Move the handle a couple of inches towards your left pant leg and as soon as you do that then move 75% of your weight over to your left leg. Now you are in the correct position to swing the club up and down into the back of the golf ball.In closing the length of your backswing should go no further than 8:00 o’clock. If you do this the club will return on the correct path with a steep angle.

Don’t forget to keep the handle moving after impact.

The ability to hit chip shots close to the pin is something most everyone can develop with the right technique and a little practice.

Since it requires almost no power… men, women, seniors, and even youngsters can learn how to chip it close. And it’s a great feeling to be able to save par with a deftly played chip shot.

But as I’ve observed many golfers hitting chip shots, there is one thing that most poor chippers do NOT do.

And that is they simply don’t play the ball back far enough in their stance. And when we discuss this, many of them actually think they are playing it back, when, in fact, it is still off their front foot.

This is frequently because they have correctly placed their feet fairly close together. But, then they lose the perspective of their ball placement.

The reason that you need to move the ball back in your stance is to ensure a clean hit on the chip.

If the ball is too far forward, you greatly increase the chance of either a skulled chip or a stubbed chip where the ball goes only a couple of feet.

The worst thing that you can do is hit a fat chip because a fat chip will either leave you the same shot over… or you will have a very long putt.

So, without doing anything else, just try moving the ball back in your stance to your back foot. I frequently chip with the ball played of the outside of my back foot. This way I know I’ll make crisp contact and I can concentrate on getting the pace of the chip right.

This is a simple tip and it may be one that you have heard before. But, it is easy to start to gradually move the ball forward in your stance without even realizing it.

Next time out to the course, check your ball position for your chip shots and practice a few with the ball played well back in your stance.

You’ll likely see instant improvement in your golf chipping.
