Golf Tips: When to Chip vs. Put


Summary:

Deciding whether to chip or putt from the fringe can be tricky for many golfers. Often, players opt to putt due to a lack of confidence in controlling chip shot distances?"or out of fear of mishitting. Here’s a guide to help determine when chipping might be the better option.

Key Considerations:


1. Wet or Thick Grass

If the grass is wet or thick, it can significantly slow the ball. This requires precise weight control, which might make chipping the preferable choice.

2. Wet or Slow Greens

Slow greens necessitate harder putts, undermining the soft touch usually required in putting. Chipping removes some moisture from the equation.

3. Long Grass and Uphill Lies

When faced with long grass and an uphill slope, putting requires more force, risking the ball getting caught. Chipping can bypass this issue.

4. Significant Grass to Cross

If there’s more than 7 feet of grass to clear before the green begins, and the hole is beyond the center, chipping can help overcome the initial resistance.

5. Long Distance to the Hole

For holes over 20 feet away, especially when the pin is beyond the center of the green, chipping can improve your odds of reaching the target.

6. Obstacles Like Sprinklers

If there's a sprinkler or similar obstacle between your ball and the hole, chipping over the obstacle can prevent deflections.

7. Uneven Terrain

When the first third of the green has uneven terrain, chipping can help avoid these complications, leading to a more straightforward putt.

Final Thoughts:

Consider these scenarios carefully to determine the best club for each situation. Weighing your options can ultimately help you save strokes and enhance your overall game.
