Does your golf game disintegrate as soon as you have to play a chip shot within 50 yards of the green? Well, it’s not uncommon and the good news is that it can be rectified for you right now!

You can use one of the following clubs when chipping to the green: 5-iron, 7-iron or 9-iron.

if you place the golf ball too far forward in your stance you will have a tendency to hit the ball thin or top the ball, and you will pull the ball to the left. If you play the ball too far back in your stance you will have a tendency to top or shank the ball and push it to the right.


When you place 75% of your weight on your left foot you are ensuring yourself that you will hit down on the ball and not up. So always make sure that you keep the weight on your front foot in the back swing.
