Chipping yips got you befuddled? Golf chipping drills can go far to dropping your golf scores and curing those chipping yips.
How frequently have you been barely off the green, then just on the putting surface after your poor chip shot.
Can you feel my pain? Most golfers neglect chipping instruction because there is no glory in it.
What fun can it possibly be if you can't just get up there and let it rip.
Hell, if your having a good day and not spraying the ball all over, chances are you will still get close but fail to reach the green.
I know for all you weekend warriors out there you can relate to this.
The Tour professionals spend a lopsided total of practice time on their short game.
They recognize it is the short game that will get them to tournament contention and tournament wins.
So golf chipping drills are a large part of their repertoire and should be of no less magnitude to the weekend warrior who would like to cut 5-10 strokes off his handicap.
I would like to share some simple but effective chipping hints that you can work on.
Remember your chipping stroke is just like a putting stroke.
Do not emphasize a long backswing.
The great thing about working on your chipping is that you can do it for hours with no muscle fatigue.
Even an old geezer like me can improve quickly and shave strokes in short order.
Here are a few helpful hints to improve your chipping skills: Insure your club head is square with target Position the ball in the midpoint or just back of center in your stance Sixty percent of your weight should be over your front foot The club shaft should point towards your left hip (for right-handed golfers) Accelerate throughout contact When those chipping yips finally get get you so angry your ready to throw your clubs in the water, just stop and take a deep breath.
Take my word for this.
Get serious, work hard on chipping drills and you will feel like you have attained golf Nirvana when those chipping yips are dead and gone.
