Most of you are getting back into the game after
some sort of winter lay-off. Everyone will agree that the short game is the
hardest part to get back to tip top form. In order to get you ready for your
first few rounds of the year, here are some tips to get you chipping it close. There
are 3 pre-chip fundamentals and 1 in-swing fundamental that you should be
focused on right out of the gates. First, 70%-80% of your weight should be on
your left side (right handed golfer). Second, the ball needs to be played
directly underneath your sternum. The third fundamental is that your hands
start and finish on the target side of the ball. During the chip, focus on
consistent speed through the shot. Commit to these fundamentals early so you can chip it close all year long!
