Mesa’s Booth sets up for a chip

Chipping from a closely mowed surface: For a ball sitting on a

slightly uphill lie, use the same stroke as if you were putting. The

ball should be played more forward in the stance and the stroke

should be straight back and then forward. If the ball is slightly

buried, or sits on a downhill lie, place ball further back in the

stance with the hands forward at address. Clubs ranging from a 4-iron

to a sand wedge can be used with this shot. But use the same

technique no matter the club. Booth uses a reverse overlap grip --

the same for putting -- on these chips.
