If you wince when standing over a chip, you’re not alone. Elite golf coach Dan Whittaker is here to help

chipping tips around the green

We’ve all been there. We think we’ve hit a great approach shot but it just rolls off the green leaving us short-sided and facing a nasty chip. Well worry no more. Check out my video below for some chipping tips around the green that will help you next time you find yourself in this situation…

Chipping tips around the green: The main points

One of the keys when chipping is to choose the correct shot. Certain situations might call for a shot you’re not as confident with so it’s important you can adjust.

However, most of this can be done simply by making changes to your set up. It’s an easy fix and can turn really tricky shots around the green into more regular up and downs.

Want to learn more? You’ll have to watch the video.

Dan Whittaker is an elite golf swing and performance coach based at High Legh. For more information, visit his website or click here for more advice.
