1. Chips are played from off the green to roll like a putt for most of their length
2. At address, 60% of the weight should be on the left foot and remain there throughout the shot
3.The stance should be open (left of the target line)
4. The ball is positioned back of centre in the stance
5. Choose a club that will give you plenty of roll - a 6 or 7 iron

6. Place the hands down the grip and set up with the hands ahead of the ball
7. Swing the club with the 'Y' of the arms and club, without wrist action
8. Keep the head still and resist the temptation to look up early!
