GOLF TIP 



 
Stay Connected to Control Your Pitching and Chipping   

 

Pitching and chipping require a controlled back and through stroke that delivers the clubface square to the target.  If you push the club away from you or pull back to the inside on the takeaway, you will have difficulty getting your swing back in plane.  A great way to stabilize your putting and chipping strokes is to stay connected to your body.  Swing the club back and through so that your left arm brushes against your chest and never get away or behind it.  Keep your right elbow close to your side as well.  This way, your body, instead of your arms and hands, will guide your swing.
