Chipping - Making a Chip Shot

• Bump and Run Shot
  A Bump and Run Shot will cause the Golf Ball to jump in a relatively low trajectory, bump on the Green, run over the Green and hopefully into the hole. When making this type of Golf Shot, it is advisable to use lower loft Golf Clubs, like an 8, 7 or 6 Iron. Take an Open Stance and play the ball back. The Clubface should be hooded so that the club plays with less loft than normal. Make a Back Swing that is just enough to give you some shot power. Then strike with a downward blow, hitting the ground and the Golf Ball at the same time. Finish the shot with a sweep on the hitting area and follow-through.



• Flop Shot
  This type of Golf Shot is used when you want your ball to have a very high trajectory for instance if something is in your way, Sand and Water Hazard for instance. The trick is to open the Clubface and get the club under the ball to pop it up.

	STEP 1: Open your stance so you will be able to see the target line clearly. Your feet should be positioned a little to the left of the Golf Ball. Lean a bit forward and slightly bend your knees.
	STEP 2: Check the area first before hitting the Golf Ball. Look at the spot where you want the ball to land.
	STEP 3: Make a Back Swing. Cock your wrist a little to promote a downward blow through the shot.
	STEP 4: In the follow-through, do not flip your left wrist. It should be in a straight line after hitting the ball.
