Tip of the week
Chipping
"Consistency in chipping can be boiled down to one element: the club's downward angle of attack. For best contact, the club must be on its downward arc when it meets the ball. Key on your right arm to get this downward arc every time. Focus on keeping your right arm 'long', or fully extended, at address. This results in the shoulders being fairly level. Now at impact, straighten your right arm again, creating a steeper angle of attack and solid contact."
