1 Chipping
A lot of amateurs struggle with the strike; they try and lift the ball up. Try practising without a target, so you’re more focused on technique. The most important thing about chipping is that the movement is going down. The lowest point has to be after the ball. I pay a lot of attention to the sound of the shot, too. You can hear when it’s delivered properly. Focus on that rather than whether the ball went close.
2 Increasing power
This sounds simple: you have to hit the back of the ball. A lot of players swipe across the ball and slice it, which means losing distance. You can adapt Tiger’s gate drill from putting. To hit the back of the ball, the club has to be coming from the inside to square, and then inside again. If you swipe across the ball, you’ll hit one of the pegs.
3 Reading greens
I’m a great believer in the old-fashioned way of looking. Don’t get too conscious with what the ball’s going to do. If people trusted more what they saw, they’d be more successful.
