How do you chip a golf ball onto the green?

Answer 1

Use a club with a high amount of loft, usually a 7 iron or above and use it as almost a putting stroke. The objective is to carry the ball a short distance and let it run out to the hole. If on the fringe of a green and you decide to chip, I would prefer using a pitching wedge. Put the ball at the back of your stance and angle the club so that the shaft and grip is in front of the club face. For the back swing, take it back maybe 1-3 feet, depending on where the pin is. During the back swing, the shaft and grip must still be in front of the club face. When doing this swing you must only rotate your shoulders like a pendulum just like as when you are putting. If you hit it correctly the ball will slightly pop up 2-4 feet and roll maybe 2 feet.
