An Important Chip Tip!

/

As golfers we typically don’t have very good awareness regarding how we are moving. We know what we should be doing, but we have a hard time executing the intended move. My explanation in the following video addresses one such situation. Watch…

  • I know this might sound contrary to what you’ve been trying to do for a long time, but consciously try to move forward and up through the strike

I hope you find some of these ideas to be helpful to your game and that ultimately you are able to experience more joy out on the golf course. Thanks for reading and watching!
