Quick Tips - An Awkward Spot
Short Game
•
4m 14s
The "chitch," ever heard of it? I hadn't, but I'd be willing to bet every golfer encounters at least one or two per round. The word might look a little dirty at first look, but it's just a combination of a chip and a pitch. We've discussed fly and roll here before, but what do you do when you need a little bit of both? The short answer is ball position, which as you all should know, depends on the type of shot you're going for. What about that awkward middle ground between a chip and a pitch? Is there a particular club that works best? Is there a particular technique? Tune in as Tim Graves, PGA, gives a rundown of ball position in the chip and the pitch, and why setting up the ball in "no man's land" is not the ideal way to handle those awkward distances.

Quick Tips - The Chip Tip
We started the week off with the Hip Tip, today I bring to you the Chip Tip. For some, chipping is a daunting part of the game, given that it is very easy to badly execute one and add a stroke to the hole. It doesn't have to be so tough, you just need to remember four words: minimize fly, maximiz...
