Hello friends, it’s Chippin’ Chewsday, innit? Why do we have so many clubs in our bag? Well, I like not having to hit my 4-iron from 230 yards all the way down to the green with different swings, so why are we doing that from 100 yards in when most of us are taking over half of our shots from? Next time you’re at the range, hit some short chips with your 60 degree, he shortest swing is your comfortable making. How far does that carry? 5, 10 feet? Doesn’t matter. The shortest swing length that you can take in time with similar consistency to your full swing, that’s your stock chip. Now your next highest lofted wedge, 56, 54, doesn’t matter. Same swing. Next wedge, same swing. And on through the bag. When you have short shots of different lengths without a massively elevated green, bunker, or hazard in your way, change the length of your shot with your club selection. The same way you control your full swing distances with your club selection, it’s so much easier to control your chips and pitches the same way.

I’m Coach Matt

Welcome to The Green Grass Golf Shop, your one-stop shop for all the most comprehensive golf instruction, swing drills, swing training aids and maybe a little golf content. My goal here is to let everyone in on the secret that most internet and Instagram golf pros don’t tell you, that the video you’re watching is not for everyone, and that nobody should be taking instruction from anyone who can’t see your swing and tell you what you need for your unique swing motion and body mechanics. This is why the most important part of what we offer here is 1-on-1 private video swing instruction, to help you make sure you’re practicing what you need to practice, only watching the videos and getting the help your unique body needs to play your best golf. Check us out with a free video swing analysis to see if virtual lessons are right for you!
