00:00You're greenside in two on a par five with a great birdie opportunity.
00:04Which club are you choosing to chip with? It's easy to reach for your lob wedge or sand wedge
00:09and play that lovely check spinner that you see the guys on the PGA Tour do,
00:13but it's quite a high risk strategy and the execution's got to be perfect.
00:18You can see the tail there. I'll be looking to make a bit of a bigger swing,
00:23plenty of speed, throw it right up.
00:27Don't really feel any control with that. Not keen on that.
00:31For me, the percentage shot would be the eight iron chip and run.
00:36I can get the ball rolling at the flag nicely, may have a chance of hole in it,
00:40but it's I think out of 10 shots the percentages are more in your favour.
00:44So I've got my eight iron here. A little adjustment I'm going to make for the chip and run shot
00:49is
00:49I want to try very hard to get the mass of the club, the weight of the club under the
00:54handle.
00:55That gives it kind of like a nice little pendulum action, just like a putter.
00:59I'm going to aim the club up nice up the left side there, but instead of being this far away,
01:04I'm going to come in nicely. The heel is going to be raised off the ground a little bit.
01:09I'm going to play it out the toe. I'm just going to feel that little rock of the shoulders.
01:13A nice little running shot.
01:17Running nicely at the flag there. Got a great chance of going in.
01:22A simple little tap in for birding.
