To follow your analogy there is so much more to golf than "pounding a nail". It would be more like building a house. All the skills amd different areas of the game. Full swings, half swings, wedge play, pitching, chipping, putting, green reading, lies, course strategy, ball flights, conditions etc. Would you have to learn how to build a house? As far as swinging a hammer it would be more like driving all sorts of different nails into different surfaces with different types of hammers. And yes there are many different ways to swing a hammer. Many are super ineffective. You cant just over simplify the sport and the skills involved. What most people should really do is lower their expectations. "Just hit the nail" is a great way to shoot in the 90s which is fine if thats your goal but if its to truly get "good" at golf, that's another world.

I no longer golf but 45 years ago I went golfing with my boss who had a pass at a nice place. I got the same advice on chipping close to the green from him as what they’re saying here; hit it like you were putting it. So easy to control the ball by keeping it low.
@pb126617 ай бұрын
in general, it's seem like the "older" generation always uses the philosophy to get the ball rolling ASAP. The newer golfers like to use a sand wedge for everything around the green. I don't understand it because that's much harder to judge consistently....just one recent example....Lydia Ko on the final hole at Lake Nona had a long "chip shot" on the front of the green. Rather than just take a lower lofted iron, she took a sand wedge and tried to fly it back to the hole. Of course, the ball came up well short and she bogeyed the hole. She still won and par wasn't crucial in that particular moment but with her touch and feel, a "bump and run" shot would have been a pretty easy shot for her. IMO But current day pros do this time and time again. Makes no sense from a consistency/law of averages standpoint.

@Golfzilla706 жыл бұрын
i see these guys all the time saying to "use the bounce" --- can someone please describe in detail what they're talking about? Do they mean they concentrate on the bottom of the club "bouncing" off the ground more than contacting the ball on the face, or what? I've been playing over 35 years, and I know a heavy-soled wedge works great out of bunkers, and a thin-soled wedge is awesome to pick a ball off a tight lie around the green, but beyond that i'm not sure what they're saying.
@timmcgrath97082 ай бұрын
@@Golfzilla70 It means the sole of the club - as opposed to the leading edge - connecting with the ground when you hit the ball. The club glides over the surface and doesn't dig. If it's a tight lie, you need to have low bounce otherwise you're likely to hit the ball with the leading edge. The higher the bounce, the more the leading edge sits up and the more likely it is that you will hit it skinny. The shot needs no or very minimal shaft lean at impact. Shaft lean exposes the leading edge to the ground.

The last guy you want to take chipping advice from is Nicklaus. He mentions Palmer told him to putt. However the best advice he received was from Phil Rodgers in 1979 who told him to swing the club back and through in the shape of a figure 8. Of course Nicklaus went on to win 3 more majors and 2 in 1980. He should have given credit where credit is due in this bit unless of course it was edited out.

All of these chipping lessons are always just off the green in fairway conditions. In reality I tend to miss left or right and playing in England I'm playing from muddy rough.

Must be great playing in perfect conditions all the time.

Around here you rarely have any flat grass around the greens, green are elevated, protected, bunkered and not flat :-) However, from time to time I get such a nice little chip. They are not a problem. When you're shooting over bunkers to flags you can just see the top of, these easy shots are a piece of cake and I will use a 7 iron at times to run the ball like a putter. But most of the time I'm flying in high with my SW or 60.
