1. Last fall, I developed a killer chipping method<\/a> using primarily my wedges. It worked well through late spring. We’ve had a period of hot weather recently which dried out the courses in the area. <\/p>\n

That chipping system had to be put on the shelf because the ball isn’t checking up on the firm greens. It’s back to my 6-iron for the garden variety greenside chips.<\/p>\n

2. Also, greenside rough is behaving differently, so I found the solution by putting away my wedges and chipping out with a 24-degree hybrid iron. The ball comes off that club pretty hot, so it takes a bit of practice to learn how much touch to put on the ball. <\/p>\n

3. I have a confession to make. I can miss really short putts. I would rather have a four-footer than a two-footer. For some reason, my mind’s eye doesn’t define the line to the hole on the short putts and they can go anywhere.<\/p>\n

My solution? Line up the putt, close my eyes, and make a pendulum swing with my shoulders. Works like a charm.<\/p>\n
