Golf Chipping: Choosing Clubs

Video Transcript

"So in this series of chips you have seen that we have had a lot of different shots that we have to master and practice. So you require a variety of different clubs anything from maybe a 60 degree wedge or an 8 iron or a pitching sand wedge 9 iron. And so only through a lot of repetitions can you really start to understand what shot to hit and why and at what times so it is up to you to put the time in on the practice green because every shot is different. The speeds of the green is different. The grass is different throughout the day, the thickness of the grass is different. So the only way you can really get a handle on all this stuff is a lot of repetitions. When you do that you will start getting it where it is almost second nature. So instead of dreading being in tall grass or thick grass around the green or a side hill lie or a downhill lie or having to hit on the down slope you'll just say hey it is another challenge for me to overcome. So I want you to look at it in a real positive manner that if you practice, you will master these shots and that way if your pro shot isn't always that great you can always recover. So look at it as a challenge and if you can get good around the greens your golf game really will get solid."
