Golf tip: Chip and run
"The chip and run should be the backbone of your short game. It is the most reliable shot around the green. The average golfer attempts to pitch the ball in the air, but the uncontrollable nature of the pitch makes it a poor choice.
"By landing the ball on the ground and having it roll as quickly as possible, your chances of predicting the ball's behavior greatly increase. The club of choice for me would be an 8-iron (or 7-iron). Rules to play by: Putt whenever you can, chip when you can't putt, pitch only when you have no choice."
