Most amateur golfers make the same chipping mistake — and it has nothing to do with technique. It's strategy. And it's costing you strokes every round.
In this episode of The Game Plan, Luke Kerr-Dineen breaks down 6 chipping and pitching strategy rules the pros use to avoid double bogeys, get up-and-down, and save par around the greens. He interviewed pros at the Masters, spoke with top short-game coaches, dug into the Golf Digest archive, and consulted academic research - including interrupting Edoardo Molinari's Ryder Cup scouting trip to get answers.
Here's what he found.
