Although many players believe that you can either putt on an arc or straight back and through, the putter shaft is attached to the head at an angle so this requires the club to travel on an arc
Chipping from off the green is probably an easier shot than pitching but you must play to your strengths and at least practice both shots for when one is not an option
Select your driver based on your swing speed, the slower your swing the more left necessary on your driver because straighter face clubs require more speed to get the ball to launch up into the air
