Last round I played, I was practicing before the round and though of how I hadn't had a decent chip in for months. On the 15th hole I played a nice pitch and run from 35' barely fell into the hole. Pretty satisfying.

I chipped in with my 60* from a greenside bunker the other day. The ball flew about 6 feet and rolled about 30 downhill into the hole. Hands down my best shot ever.

Congrats chipping in is always a nice feeling. I've never yet to hole one from a far or the sand. My sand game is crap.

The other day I hit a bump and run from about 30 yards out and drained it.

I had to go under two trees, and I hit it about 15 feet harder than I wanted to, but luckily it squared the pin and dropped.

Speaking of chipping in on a practice green i had a 45 foot shot down a hill(it looked impossible) i hit it really hard and it just landed in the hole.

I "chipped" in from out of the sand to save par on a par-5 last weekend. Pretty simple shot with a good lie and slightly on the up-slope. Carried about 50 feet, dropped within 2 feet of the pin and rolled up and dove into the side of the cup.

First time I've holed out from the sand, ever. I didn't really see it all happen, but the group behind us was clapping and cheering... which was a first, as well. :)

    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
