Chipping is about good contact

The key to effective chipping is good
contact.
If we can be confident we'll be able to do
this, and then we will relax and actually enjoy this part of the game.
Setup: grip down on the club, hands toward
lead side, stand closer to the ball than you think, ball position in middle of
stance, weight 70 per cent to the lead side.
Motion: swing back with just enough power to
swing through with acceleration, finish with club shaft in line with lead arm.
This finish position will eliminate the classic (scooping) motion that is
common in amateur players.
This should give you a head start going into
golf season.
