Chipping (Choosing the Best Iron)
Written by Contest Entry

Since chipping could be considered one the most embarrassing and difficult shots you could ever make and requires a short but lofty ball flight, choosing the correct degree of pitching iron is one of the most important decisions you could make when making your selection of club to use. Various degrees produce different lofts but that is also the case with all irons. By Unknown

Chip Shot Best Results
Written by Contest Entry   
Monday, 15 December 2008 10:11
Since I am relatively new to the game of golf, chipping seems very difficult for me to achieve. A friend told me he read somewhere to achieve the best results for a chip shot the ball should be located in line with my back leg. My club face and stance should be slightly open. I should shift my weight more to my front foot and to achieve the required loft would depend on how much I hit down on the ball. My wrist should be firm my club face square to the ball and club shaft leaning directly towards the target. So far with allot of practice it seems to be helping. Golfmaniac

Improving Your Chipping
Written by Contest Entry

I read in a very well written and illustrated article on Golf Tips magazine's website entitled "Pitch Right" by Paul Ito about "how to improve your chipping in two minutes' time."

He explains that an effective way to control your shots around the greens is to have a stance with a narrow set up. Releasing the club with a chip shot was not the issue but maintaining a club shaft leaning towards the target with a square club face to achieve best direction control has helped tremendously when practicing my chipping. Another common way of phrasing this is to keep you hands in front of the club head. Click for more information on this article  Roger C.

Getting Out Of The Bunker
Written by Contest Entry   
Monday, 15 December 2008 09:29
When playing with a very experienced golfer one Friday afternoon and having a hard time getting out of the bunker I was told first never to seat my club in the sand and second to lay the sand wedge flat and with a full swing hit about two inches behind the ball, or to imagine the ball was sitting in the middle of a bagel and try to hit the bagel out of the sand. That surely helped. by R. Dodger
