A good way to help you remain still and make solid contact when you are playing chip and pitch shots is to lean to your front side.  Play the ball just back of your front foot with 90 percent of your weight on your front foot.  Lean a little forward so that your shaft leans backward and your hands are near your front thigh.  Keep this position while you swing the club back and through, with no movement back or forward or up and down.  This will help eliminate fat shots, where the club hits the ground behind the ball.

Bottom Line:

To make solid contact, you want the feeling the club is going to brush the ground instead of chopping down on the ball.

If you are interested in improving your golf game, there are several Golf Communities in Naples FL with excellent PGA Teaching professionals.  I’d be happy to provide some suggestions.  If you are considering buying a home in Naples or Bonita Springs in a golf community, let me be your guide.  There are more than 100 golf communities to chose from.
