Never needed to worry about that. As long as I can drive and putt, I will get by.

You drive for show and putt for dough. Being able to chip is for those that cant hit the greens in regulation. lol. In answer though, my chipping is pretty much up there. I had a 45% greenside saves and 75% sand saves in my hayday so I get by. The only chipping I do these days is with potatoes but I might start again next year when the sun shines again.

Chipping is the strongest part of my game, it is putting that lets me down most the time, too many two putts on those tricky little five footers though I am only a very fair weather golfer

I will give you a tip and it works. Next time you go to putt, breath all the way out, loosen your grip and putt for a hole 12 inches past the one you are going for on the same break line, ie hit it harder.

You never hit a putt you stroke it. That's why its called a stroke 4 or stroke 4 index.

Another thing that amateurs do wrong is they take the head back too far. 5 footers are easy if you take the head back no further than 6 inches and play through the ball.

Also to help you not have to chip so often, if you cant make the shot 8 times out of 10 in your head, don't go for it, take a club less, choke down and relax through the impact zone.

Hmm interesting, thanks, will bear it in mind on my next round (which'll probably be in about 4 months)
