If you can putt, putt.

If you can’t putt, chip(bump and run)

If you can’t chip, pitch.

For chips I like to have my nose forward of the golf ball.

For pitches, I like the handle pretty vertical.

I get in trouble when I get lazy and don't worry about my ball position.

I'm not really a barstool fan but I like Kevin Kisner a lot. This is the best video I've ever seen on chipping. I do a couple things different than what he's teaching but it should get you in the right direction

Yes, if you're meaning chipping, this video is pretty much right on. Kisner essentially teaches what Stan Utley teaches though Utley would probably tell the guy in the video to have feet a little closer(Kis does), weight more forward, and use lead leg as a pivot point. I picked up Utley's book on short game after decades of mediocre to horrible chipping and instantly began with excellent contact (btw, I'm a lefty too). Utley also covers pitching(he explains difference between pitching and chipping), sand play, etc. I'd get that
book, find any video or interview u can find with him, and find out what he says about putting. He has some great results with very good tour pros. I wouldn't be surprised if Kisner has been influenced by him.
