Chipping from bad lies
Here are some tips to help you cope when chipping from awkward lies:
- The ball sits down in the grass: - play it further back in your stance.
- The ball sits up high: - grip down on your club & “sweep”.
- Downhill lies: – move the ball back in your stance for crisper contact.
- Uphill lies: – move the ball forward for early loft.
- Ball above feet: - grip down on the club & stand taller.
- Ball below feet: – bend lower to get over the ball.
- Let your practice swing be your guideline to where the club bottoms out when chipping from bad lies.
