Chipping. It’s important when chipping to visualize an area you want to
land the ball in, use 4 clubs like in the picture and try and land your
ball in the square.

As a golf instructor it is obviously important for me to have a great
knowledge of the golf swing but in my opinion it is equally if not more
important to understand what your student is physically able to do
Tips for May: How far should we stand from the ball

Lots of golfers ask the question: "how far should I stand from the ball?"
The simple answer to this question is there should be a hands breadth between the top of the club and you’re the top of your left thigh.
What you will see in the picture below is that due to the length of the club, I have a driver, 7 iron and sand wedge you will stand automatically further away from the ball with the longer club and closer with the shorter club but the most important thing to remember is the distance the top of the club is away from your left thigh is the same with every club.
I hope this helps.
As usual please contact me if you have any golfing questions or needs.
Happy Golfing!
