re: Chipping/putting advice

Some people like the simplicity of using just 1 club. And it's just one club you have to practice and get better with. You should be able to hit most shots with a 60. Flop, one hop spin (it should be the club you use for these two anyway), and even a runner. Some people even prefer to work on distance control with this club to take as much green/slope out of the equation as possible.

I think a bigger problem in general with ams is consistent contact and that's with any club. Then people need to really know their distances (again, doesn't matter the club), and finally understanding the spin you'll get and how that can change with the shot and lie.

So this is why some people choose just one club. Because all those variables change when the club changes. I know some guys who don't "chip" at all. They either putt or pull out a hybrid.
