Q: Hey, Chef! What’s a enjoyable chipping recreation I can observe with to construct confidence for my subsequent spherical? —Johnson L., Lexington, Ky
Anytime you’re in search of fast confidence across the greens, I counsel taking place in loft to a 52-degree or a pitching wedge, staying about two-to-four yards off the inexperienced within the fringe. The decrease loft will enable you to groove an environment friendly and barely shorter swing than in case you had been to simply seize your lobber.
A superb recreation which you could play is taking one ball and hitting six photographs, with the purpose being to hit all six inside eight ft. The higher you get at this drill, the smaller you can also make your purpose. (Shhhh… Tour gamers aren’t trying to make each chip shot, however they’re in search of every shot to finish up inside of 4 ft.).
