Seven Steps to Heavenly Chipping

I have been coaching for more than 20 years and spent the last ten of them studying the short game - an area I believe represents the difference between posting a good or disappointing score. Quite simply, if you have a good short game you can play badly but still score well. I have found the number one reason for a poor short game is misunderstanding the shot you are about to play. Most golfers have no idea of the simple things: where to land the ball; how much run the shot will have; or what the correct set up is. Without the correct knowledge of those things and more, the chances of executing a successful shot are small. That’s why I am confident this book will help you acquire the short game to improve your score. However, you MUST work through the individual chapters in the correct order, especially the first two as it is essential you understand those two vital aspects of the game before going on to learn the shots themselves. I hope you enjoy this book and I am sure you will be a much better chipper of the ball after reading and practising the information in it.
