Complimentary Educational Video Series

The video series below will take you through the fundamentals of chipping . You will start off learning about the setup, stroke and distance control. Then you will work your way through various skill building exercises that focus on technique and game like situations.

( Warning: Videos may be slightly dark and/or hazy. Sun did not cooperate during the video shoot, so I decided to make the series complimentary.)

Also Known as the “Flying Putt”, a chip is a shot played from close to the green.

Neutral Roll
