Becoming a more confident player in the golf scoring zone is an easy way to knock strokes off your score, which means you have to improve your golfing abilities around the green. First, Charlie King explains the difference between pitching and chipping, and discusses what you should do before you prepare to swing and how you should set your stance, posture and grip. Then, Charlie and Brian Manzella teach you some of the ways to improve your short game by demonstrating the mechanics for distance control and showing you how to make solid contact. Finally, you’ll learn some fun practice games that you can use to challenge yourself and prepare for the shot-by-shot nature of a round on the course, rather than a sequence of chipping and pitching technique shots at the range.

Let’s talk about chipping. Let me show you the biggest fault I see in the average player of why they can’t chip consistently. The problem is they don’t use their body as well as their hands. You have to use your body. Let me show you what happens when you don’t. If you stand stationary with your body when you hit a chip, you’re probably going to scoop it, you’re not going to hit it solid, and you’re not going to get the proper speed you need. Let’s talk about what you need to do. You want to use your legs. Think of your right knee as a little bit of a trigger. Weight’s pretty much on the front side of your feet. Shaft’s forward. Use a little trigger with your legs. Remember, don’t stand still when you hit a chip. Put a little movement in it.
