Chipping/putting advice
Posted on 7/27/17 at 8:35 am

So I have a major problem with chipping and putting. Driver/irons work out well but when it comes to finishing, I just can't do it. Sometimes I can chip okay-ish but it's definitely not consistent.
Now putting, everything just goes right, is it my feet alignment?
I play atleast twice a month, just looking to see how I can take atleast 2 strokes off every hole.

for chipping I like the 2 penny drill

regarding the putting it could be you opening your putter face or a swingpath issue.
ping makes a device that works with your smartphone and attaches to your putter. it will show your putter swingpath and may be helpful.

Do you use a mark of any kind to line up your putts? If not try using the line on the ball. Once you know you're lining up correctly you can determine if its alignment (feet/shoulders) or if its in the stroke itself.

For chipping get out in your backyard and practice. Gotta have a feel for the wedges.

I use to leave it right alot. Did two things. Got a center shafted putter, and reversed my grip.
The center shaft helps keep me from opening the face, and the reverse grip evened out the pressure in my hands. Still getting use to it, but I am alot more consistent within 7-10 ft range

If you are chipping with wedges, don't decelerate. Try a 7i and learn a bump and run.
I'd give you putting advice but I'm in the suck right now.

What about your chipping is inconsistent?
Posted on 7/27/17 at 9:53 am to GEAUX5
Let me ask you this. When you are chipping, do you take out your 56* wedge for every shot no matter the lie, distance, etc? All you really need to learn is a short chipping motion not dissimilar from your putting stroke, but use a different club depending on how far or how much roll you need. Pitching is a different animal, but chipping can be easy to learn with practice and proper club selection.

Practice, practice, practice. Pick a club for chipping and master it. I hit most every chip with my 56 and manipulate the face depending on what kind of shot I need to hit. Some people are fans of using a high iron and running the ball. It really doesn't matter as long as you know what the ball is going to do when it hits the green.
As far as putting goes, it could be a few different things. You're definitely pushing it if it's going right, but there's no way to know the reason without watching you putt. Get one of these and it will fix your stroke.

i have accepted the fact that i cannot chip around the green. i putt everything

I used to chip with 9i and use a putting motion. Sometimes still do this for short greenside chips.
My usual method is feet close together, slightly open stance, pressure on the left foot, very slight shaft lean, straight back easy swing and follow through.
One thing that helped, and I stole this from Meandmygolf YouTube channel, is to act like your putting a sword into your belt on the follow through. Hard to describe and I'm having trouble finding the video, but it keeps me from squeezing the club on the downswing/follow through and has really improved my chipping. Stopped me from flipping and jamming the club into the ground. I also hover the clubhead before swinging to keep my hands loose.

If you ever find that trick, write it down and start selling it. Hell, I'd be happy taking 2 strokes off 3 holes in a round.
A 36 stroke improvement on your score?

Get golf sized wiffle balls. Walmart sells4 box of 12 practice balls for $1.69.
Practice chipping more than twice a month. Have someone who can chip watch you pratice once a month. Feedback and practice = improvement.
Coach + time playing.
