Do not approach your chipping stance like a full swing stance, keep your feet close together, slightly open, weight on your front leg and shoulders square to the target, this set up clears your hips prior to the shot and puts more of the toe of the club flat on the ground
Consistently hitting your landing area on the green every time when chipping or pitching is the best way to improve your short game and lower your scores
Allow your golf club and natural stance to determine whether you’re standing too close or too far from the ball
