Mastering the Chip and Run: A Simple Golf Tip for Your Short Game

Golf Tips for Seniors

By Robin All

Looking to improve your short game? The chip and run is an essential shot for golfers of all levels, helping you control the ball and roll it smoothly onto the green.

To execute this shot:

Stance & Setup: Keep a square stance with the ball positioned near the middle of your stance. Shift more weight onto your front foot and keep it there throughout the swing.

Swing Motion: Think of it as a long putting stroke—a straight back and through motion with no wrist cocking or twisting.

Ball Flight & Roll: This shot produces a low trajectory with more roll, so choose your club wisely depending on how much green you have to work with.

As always, practice makes permanent—so get out there and refine your technique. A solid short game can shave strokes off your score!
