Shots & Technique

Chip

A short, low-trajectory shot played near the green that spends more time rolling on the ground than in the air.

What does chip mean in golf?

Chipping is a fundamental short game skill used when the ball is just off the green. The goal is to land the ball on the putting surface and let it roll to the hole like a putt. Club selection varies — a pitching wedge or 9-iron produces more roll, while a sand wedge or lob wedge produces less. The general rule is to get the ball rolling on the green as early as possible.
