Golf Chipping Tip

As a boy, I have a wonderful golf chipping tip, when I started playing this game that my life has stayed with me throughout.
An alien / Golfer / Guru I came to the training ground, where I was hitting some bump and run with my 9-iron. He said:

"You know that is not to jump the ball and the club. Try to take as a rake."

He noticed my confused look and he took me to a nearby tree and asked me to collect some leaves with myClub

"Now tell me what to do and how does it feel?"

It 'was very friendly and had a voice that reminds me of my English teacher with whom I had a good connection, so I dragged a couple of leaves growing in a pile and said:

"Actually I do not do very easily pull the sole of the club on the ground and the bat is the collection of leaves."

He smiled then continued,

"In order to" benefit "Chipping golf tip, nottell me what the club tells me what are you doing? "

I thought hard and started again and I told him to sit on the pile of leaves that had already collected more leaves and pile on the right side.

I also noticed that my hands hold the shaft of the club into a corner, where the racket head was below the battery and my hands, again and again to the left along the top of the pile.

I also noticed that Iautomatically keeping the clubface square to the direction that has been designed with the right palm was facing the ground at the same angle as my tree in relation to the ground.

"Great stuff!" replied the stranger;

"Now we try to disperse the cluster assembled with a mixture of what you are doing and have a swing that is similar to a chipping swing."

Then I suggested to try again to tell him what I did and how he felt.

After the rustle of the pileScroll to the left, I was able to report that the swing had become a bit 'more dynamic and felt more like a radical movement as a rake.

I knew where I wanted because he said at the time,

"OK you're done, leave the ball and ran to the dynamics of this 'Chipping' tip Golf."

Then he told me to make some moves, rake the grass, as a practice swing and feel like I did that toward the target.

And then a little 'more like a sweep, and then without thinking the same thing with the ball.

It is tempting to believe. Suddenly my understanding and sensitivity to the dynamics of these shots were quadrupled.

I always use this "Golf Chipping point" with my students, and they thank me for my wisdom.

So, Mr Stranger, for years I've had success in this part of my game and move into position to others ...

"I thank you."
