The key to lower scores in your golf game is in your hands, literally. Your ability around the greens, your knack of turning 3 shots into 2 will quickly see your scores tumbling.
In this article I will give your 2 golf tips for chipping which should help you lower your handicap much quicker than trying to add 30 yards extra to your drives.
Secret 1- Dead hands
Yes, dead hands. You should set up with a good grip and rather than flicking at the ball with loose, floppy wrists you should maintain a firmness in your hands and wrists.
Because you chip with your arms and shoulders, not your hands, for more consistent results.
Rely on the bigger muscles, not the smaller ones which are quicker but lead to inconsistency.
Secret 2-Set up with your weight on your left side, not neutral or with your weight on your right side but make sure it is on your left side.
This makes the execution of the stroke much easier because it promotes a downward moving action through impact..which means the ball will run up the clubface and give you all the elevation you need to carry the fringe for example.
Many amateurs make the fatal mistake of trying to help the ball into the air..let the club do what it is designed to do by hitting down and letting the ball run up the face to give you sufficient elevation.
Your ability to get the ball up and in will determine, more quickly than anything else, how low your scores will be..consistently.
