Duffed chips....nooooooooooo! | Golf Monthly

I'm not a good golfer by a long stretch. But I find that with this part of my game the more I think about it, the worse it is.

The only thing I do think of is when I'm taking a practice swing is what sort of weight would I throw the ball with if I was throwing it under-arm towards the hole. I then replicate that when I go to hit the ball.

Pre-shot is about reading the green and where I want the ball to land.

Okay, as I said, I ain't much of a golfer, but this is one bit of my game that has improved. Even if not all the time, though normally because I'm thinking to hard about what type of swing to do. In all honesty, I couln't even tell you what type I do use. I just go on feel of the under-arm swing.

I also started to stick with one club for all shots. That way I know how far the ball will travel and how far the roll out would be. I've only recently started using the 7 iron for just beyond the fringe shots, which has given better results than the wedge.
