PRO's TIP OF THE WEEK

Sorry the Tip of the Week became Tip of the Month...

How about a Chipping Lesson?

I keep seeing most players using a sand wedge or even a lob wedge for almost all their shots around the green. I believe you should use the least lofted club that will safely carry to the green and let the ball run on the ground rather than try to fly a shot all the way to the hole. Try gripping down on a seven or eight iron when you are just a few feet off the green and have plenty of green to work with. Just shorten your back swing and brush the grass like a long putt with those irons. Bump and run the ball instead of trying to fly the ball most of the way to the hole. With a little practice, you can become a great "chipper".
