Practice does make perfect but you need to practice with the proper technique. The chipping technique is really quiet easy to learn, it’s the execution that is really difficult. A lot of golfers I see chipping is the same thing they do in the sand trap,they try to flip the right hand under leading to sculled chips or the club just sliding under the ball. One of the main factors in chipping well is the back of your left-hand if you are a right-handed golfer. Around the greens can have all different lengths of grass making you have to be much more imaginative. Hope this helps your sand game.Ĭhipping around the greens can sometimes can actually be more difficult than the sand shot. Practice this technique until you get it down pat and then you can experiment with different kinds of lies in the sand. You want to hit the sand about two inches behind the ball and it will pop out onto the green. Now be sure your weight is on your front foot, take a 3/4″ swing back and a 3/4″ threw the ball. So get started by taking your stance in the sand shuffle your feet a little to get them set in the sand because of doing this you will want to choke down on the club a little to make up for your feet sinking a little, now open the club face a little and then take your grip, very important.īe sure the ball is in the middle of you stance. Your club should never even come in contact with the ball.ĭid you ever think of why the club is called a sand wedge? because it is designed to do the work for you. One of the biggest mistake golfers make when trying to get out of a sand trap is they try to scoop the ball out instead of hitting down behind the ball with a full swing which will cause the ball to be actually pushed out by the sand. The most important element of hitting a sand shot is technique, the first rule being keeping your body very still, there should be little movement in your body. So what if you were to hit in the trap and then just stroll up to your ball take a nice easy swing and watch the ball float on up on to the green. Most golfers when they hit the ball into a sand trap their first reaction is oh crap how do I get out of here, there goes my round. So here is hopefully to some better golf and scores. My goal here is to have you make a chip shot and watch it roll into the hole. Golf should actually be fun not work so instead of working on your golf game lets go playing on your golf game. In order to improve any aspect of your life you need to have realistic expectations in order to reach your goal, same goes with golf. Here I’m going to try to show you how to lower your scores without spending hours on end at the driving range. I think most golfers feel they don’t need to improve or they just don.t want to put the time in to improve by getting some short game lessons. I wanted to write this blog in order for the average golfer to improve their short game and hopefully lower your scores.Īs you probably know most strokes are lost when you finally get near the green and you have to depend on your short game to get the ball in the hole.
