In this section, Bobby Eldridge makes and introduction and talk about chipping. If you are using the same golf club in doing a long chip shot and a short chip shot you will run into trouble. Using a sand wedge to make a short chip shot is okay but if you need to make a golf ball go further when you are chipping you will need to have to do a longer back swing. Instead of adjusting your backswing you can opt to change your golf club.
In this section, Bobby Eldride demonstrates using a 9 iron in making a a short chip shot and, positioning the ball in the middle of your left leg, putting a little weight on your left leg and the handle over towards your left leg and make an arm swing. To make a medium chip shot, you can use a slightly longer golf club with exactly the same golf swing. For a long chip shot, use a 5 iron and make the same golf swing that you do in making the short and medium chip shot.
