First topic message reminder :

I am rubbish at chipping. Though to be fair i am not great at this whole golf malarkey anyway. But Chipping i am considerably worse at then anything else.

I can get my 3 wood into play most holes, but if i do not hit the green i am stuffed.

My two common chip shots problems are -
goes up, and then comes down about 5 feet from where i was. Not very good.
or the common thin straight through the green, or from one greenside bunker to the other.

So basically, any tips or advice?

Thanks!

I have heard a few teachers say that when pitching you should use the club that will land the ball about a foot onto the green and use as much roll as possible. I like the idea but it requires the mastery of so many clubs that I find there is not enough practice time available to use it. 20 mins with a SW and then 20 min with PW a couple of times a week is already a pretty heavy schedule.

ben,
This is what a pro says about the precision of Michael Tompson's chipping which was instrumental in him winning the "Honda".

I'm sure we'd all quibble with one or two aspects of this but, for what it's worth . . . .

Also: Remember Thompson is a tall man compared to most of us - one chipping size may not fit all.
