LAMGA By David Kubissa LAMGA members can always use some advice on how to cut strokes off their scores. To help out, this month’s article includes advice from Lake Ashton Head Pro Ian Peterson about how to practice your chipping. Chip shots are typically within about 10 feet of the green where the ball is going to fly a shorter distance in the air and roll out a longer distance to get to the hole. The best rule of thumb is to get the ball rolling on the ground as soon as possible. Study this image and practice the accompanying techniques. up the shaft through the lead arm. Place about 60% of your weight on the lead foot and 40% on your trail foot. Swing: Rock your shoulders back and through in a pendulum motion. Keep your hands and wrists quiet and maintain the straight-line relationship up the shaft and through your lead arm into the finish. Notice how the golfer finishes the stroke. His hands and wrists are quiet, and the back of his left wrist is flat. You can draw a line up the shaft and his left arm. Practice this technique with a sand wedge, 9-iron, 7-iron, or a hybrid to develop a feel for distance with the different clubs. Set-Up: Ball position should be back in the stance, hands forward and shaft leaning forward to create a straight line Sponsor spotlight: This month we thank and highlight the following LAMGA sponsors: Stone Law Group, Weaver Loveless Law, Brad Kirwan Real Estate, Mike Krigelski – A+ Realty, Terri Mattocks and Lori Raath of Lake Ashton Realty, and Realty Inspection Solutions.
