Tips re: chip & runs - hand position, ball position etc

For chipping
Narrow stance
Ball position centre or 1 ball back
Hands and weight a touch forward
Straighter faced club so 7, 8 or 9

For shorter chips, more loft

For the downhill bunker shot
Lean forwards towards the flag
Ball forward
Aim left
Open the face wide
Hit 2 in behind the ball and swing with the slope....hard

Thanks very much for that Bob.
Now, how about coming down to Ashbourne this weekend and actually playing the shots for me?

It can be arranged.
£5 each shot
£10 each if you want them on the green

I can get 'em on the green, it's just that they aren't as close as that.
I think I've been getting my hands too far in front and almost chopping down. As a result they have been spinning alot on landing, taking the break too much and finishing short.
