The average 85 shooter is faced with 13 chips, pitches and putts per round.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve nailed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-instruction\/shortgame\/golf-chipping-how-to-guide\/what-is-golf-chip-setup.php\">chip shot setup<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-instruction\/shortgame\/golf-chipping-how-to-guide\/best-golf-chip-stroke.php\">proper chipping stroke<\/a>, the quickest way to break into the 70s is to improve your chipping distance control and improve your up-and-down percentage.<\/p>\n<p>Distance control is the most important aspect of chipping. Think back to the last time you were faced with a difficult chip and didn&#8217;t get the desired result. Maybe you left the ball 15 feet away from the hole.<\/p>\n<p>I would bet that you didn&#8217;t miss the chip 15 feet to the right or to the left. Most likely you were short or long of the hole.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why controlling distance is so crucial, where we all have the most room for improvement, and where you can drop strokes the fastest.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Take the Test<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Grab 10 golf balls and head to the practice green.<\/li>\n<li>Pick a shot roughly 50 feet from the hole on a fairly level lie.<\/li>\n<li>Hit 10 shots to the hole.<\/li>\n<li>Map out your shots.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You might find them to look something like this:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_188\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-188\" style=\"width: 492px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/chipping-image.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-188 \" title=\"chipping-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/chipping-image.png?resize=492%2C314&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"chipping distance control\" width=\"492\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/chipping-image.png?w=615&amp;ssl=1 615w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/chipping-image.png?resize=300%2C191&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-188\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Notice how most balls miss short and long, but the direction of the shots is consistent.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You will notice that most of the balls that are farthest from the hole are both short and long. The distance the balls missed from left to right was insignificant.<\/p>\n<p>If the speed were perfect on each shot, most of the remaining putts would be less than 2 feet.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to Improve Your Chip Shot Distance Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The key is to constantly observe the distance you hit each shot and adjust.
