I talk about chipping a lot at The Grateful Golfer. The reason for this is that most amateurs, myself included, spend at least half the time chipping around the green during an 18-hole round. We know that green in regulation or GIR is the king stat, but most of us are below 50% during most rounds. Therefore, offering chipping tips is a great way to help you as a reader and focus my game to achieve low golf scores. And today we discuss the Green Dot Red Dot chipping tip.
I came across this drill or visual cues presented by Minnesota PGA Professional Greg Schulze. It’s simple and provides a visual representation of how our clubhead and hands should work together as we chip around the green. It’s easy to understand and is another way to explain the relationship between our hands and the clubface as we try to improve our up-and-down stats. Take a look:
The simple concept of placing red/green dots on our club during training is a good idea to help develop what the club position should look like during contact. Opening your stance and placing more weight on your lead foot is also important because it puts your body in the right position to chip the ball. A final tip would be to make sure you make contact with the club before looking up to see where your ball is going. Oh yes, one last tip (it never ends): choose a landing spot.
The Green Dot Red Dot tip is simple and easy to apply. It will help you keep your club in the right position while chipping. After a short time you won’t need the dots anymore as you get a visual cue through the shaft angle to help improve your chipping around the green. If you give it a try, please message me to let me know if it works.
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
