GOLF TIP - The Chip and Run Shot

The chip and run shot is the preferred method when close to the green. As a rule we want to hit a low running shot rather then a high lobbing shot if possible as the low shot is much easier to control. If you have a sand trap, water hazard or an obstacle in front of you, then you would pitch the ball up into the air vs this chip and run shot.

With a 7, 8, or 9 iron, simply take your narrow open stance, choke down on the handle, lean on your front foot, create a small letter "y" with the club and your arms.. Now swing back and through in a pendulum motion. This is a controlled shot that will defiantly help you get the ball close to the hole.

Note: This shot is most effective off of a good lie.. If you have a bad lie, you are better off using a more lofted club such as a PW or SW

ALSO: Send this to anyone you think could benefit and call us if you need help.

Good luck and happy golfing!

I cant believe there is no mention of using less wrists and more shoulders or no wrists and all shoulders. Its probably the most important part of the shot!!
