Not all of our chips will be from the perfect lie on the fringe, so we need to make sure we practice out of a variety of lies. Next time you practice your chipping, drop your ball in some rough and try to recreate more realistic lies. Here are a couple things you should change in your chipping when you encounter a tough lie in the rough: • Use more a little more loft then you normal, the extra loft makes it a little easier to get down to the ball and to get the ball up and out of the rough. • Feel like your backswing is more to the outside, this helps us get a little steeper angle of attack back down to the ball • Keep the weight left—this is important for all chip shots, but an absolute must when we get into a tough lie.
Continue to practice using these drills and your game will dramatically improve.
