Chipping on the Green

[Dunit507]

I’ve done it. I’ll do it again although in all my years of golf, since 1993, I may have had to do it 2 times. I think it may be a do as I say, not as I do type thing tho. I don’t suggest it. I say do it if you are confident you won’t take a chunk or turf with the shot. I do practice it on the corner of our putting green so it is a shot I do have a lot of confidence in and if needed I won’t hesitate to do it. I don’t think everyone should do it. Not trying to thumb my nose up at anyone here like I am better than anyone. It is not very nice to take a chunk out of a green and if you are going to do it, do it right and pick it clean.

I have done it a couple of times when there was no other way to get to the pin without "putting" off the green and hoping the slope was sufficient to carry it down back onto the green...... no, open the wedge, let the bounce do its job and pitch/ chip as needed.
