I think he is great too, but don't listen to his advice. Nearly everything he said in this video is completely wrong. His method is fine, but the ball action and bounce explanations weren't accurate.
@@brianlakeberg1768 What he's saying doesn't really make sense either. He talks about how he can make a SW act like a 7 iron. What's the point of that when you could just use a 7 iron?
I really like Paddy's and Annika's tips. Keeping the weight on your left leg throughout the chip and your legs relatively still is the foundation of a great chipping technique.
I chip with my eight iron usually, sometimes the seven. I stand close and use a putting stroke. Works really well. I showed the technique to a golfing buddy who had just blew his chip shot using a wedge. I threw a ball down and told him to get his 7 or 8 iron and use a putting stroke. He ran it up to the hole and looked at me like he was amazed.
I no longer golf but 45 years ago I went golfing with my boss who had a pass at a nice place. I got the same advice on chipping close to the green from him as what they’re saying here; hit it like you were putting it. So easy to control the ball by keeping it low.
8:58 Instead of changing the hands/arms around like Watson shows, which actually alters swing feels, the same can be accomplished simply by putting the same grip on an open or shut club, and swing on the normal path. All swing feels are the same.
Man. Too many of all the greatest short game guys to digest. I'm gonna go with my bud Lee Trevino and stay with his teachings. In addition Lee Trevino gave me the best simple tip forever about the long(er) putt vs the short(er) putt and I will never ever forget this lesson. Thank You Dean Jackson Seattle
Raymond Floyd’s short game was second to no one. The best short game tip I have ever heard is keep the shoulders moving thru impact, if you stop your shoulders then the hands takeover leading to inconsistent contact.
Sure loved Raymond Floyd's ideas on fairway woods. I followed his directions back in the day. At 73 now thanks to Raymond Floyd's instructions I'm still able to smoothly spank my 2 wood cleanly.
I saw Ray Floyd talking about putting with loft back in the day and that has helped me more than any other advice with shots that are just off of the green. I always use that shot when I can't putt but just need a few yards of carry.
Im with the 9 time major winner Gary Player!! As an amateur, 9 times out of 10 I always get it closer to the cup doing a bump and run with a putter stroke over trying to land it perfect with a wedge. May not be as sexy, but it's what's most effective.
12:50 Zinger- The Best. "When you learn to use the bottom of the club is- It is liberating it opens up a whole new world" That is so true folks. Use the bounce- I watched a guy use the leading edge all day today- what a chop! The bounce is key! Use it!
i see these guys all the time saying to "use the bounce" --- can someone please describe in detail what they're talking about? Do they mean they concentrate on the bottom of the club "bouncing" off the ground more than contacting the ball on the face, or what? I've been playing over 35 years, and I know a heavy-soled wedge works great out of bunkers, and a thin-soled wedge is awesome to pick a ball off a tight lie around the green, but beyond that i'm not sure what they're saying.
@@Golfzilla70 It means the sole of the club - as opposed to the leading edge - connecting with the ground when you hit the ball. The club glides over the surface and doesn't dig. If it's a tight lie, you need to have low bounce otherwise you're likely to hit the ball with the leading edge. The higher the bounce, the more the leading edge sits up and the more likely it is that you will hit it skinny. The shot needs no or very minimal shaft lean at impact. Shaft lean exposes the leading edge to the ground.
The trajectory of each of Tom Watson's pitch's was affected more by his release than the grip change. Watch the length of the finish....low finish, low result......high finish, high result.
Added EVERYONE's advise to my chip swing. Now I am hit the ball behind the back, through my legs, and towards the tee box. Consistently putting for double par.
Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "putting tips for beginners" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my colleague got cool results with it.
i think its more of a when the student is ready the teacher appears . and thats all golf instruction , you just cant skip ahead in learning . i may be insane completely ! i know this game can drive me insane
Most old school golfers played the bump and run and perfected it into all short game shots, the new generation plays lob and spin today. Nothing wrong with neither one, having both in the bag is a -minus to your score.
@@poopjeans1135 That's because a lot of modern players work only on power and never on touch. I was taught from the green out and it seems that now they teach from the tee to the green. I use the wedges to bump and run. different wedge depending on my distance from the flag.
That was golden advice from Trevino. -Deloft the SW and Attack the ball for a ' release ' rather than a ' check ' too bad his other short game vids he preaches just the opposite 😄
Gary is so right in his chipping theory in which I have used for years and it serves me well Don't get me wrong I would love to do these lob wedges and spin the ball close to the hole but for me I can't master it, so a six/seven iron suits me too a tee! I played with a young guy and he was using all sort of high chip shots to the green and was always short or too long, I tried to explain to him in what Gary has showed us and his answer was - no I like to put the ball in the air! What can I say, the youngsters of today wan't too copy what they see on Telly!
All of these chipping lessons are always just off the green in fairway conditions. In reality I tend to miss left or right and playing in England I'm playing from muddy rough. I think the average golfer can play the shots they're showing but struggle with the ones where one practice swing covers your club face in mud. Must be great playing in perfect conditions all the time.
ain't that the truth --- every time around here when i miss a green, it's considered in the rough, and there's like 3 or 4 species of grass growing every which way so no two chip shots are ever the same
Around here you rarely have any flat grass around the greens, green are elevated, protected, bunkered and not flat :-) However, from time to time I get such a nice little chip. They are not a problem. When you're shooting over bunkers to flags you can just see the top of, these easy shots are a piece of cake and I will use a 7 iron at times to run the ball like a putter. But most of the time I'm flying in high with my SW or 60.
I include a junior golfers 56 degree wedge in my bag because it's very accurate for short pitching. I'd rather have 4 wedges in the bag and use them a lot.
The last guy you want to take chipping advice from is Nicklaus. He mentions Palmer told him to putt. However the best advice he received was from Phil Rodgers in 1979 who told him to swing the club back and through in the shape of a figure 8. Of course Nicklaus went on to win 3 more majors and 2 in 1980. He should have given credit where credit is due in this bit unless of course it was edited out.
What we have here is every great golfer with every different technique to get the ball to the hole. So there really is no one perfect method: Wedge- 6 iron- putter- toss it like a ball....just hit it a few feet onto the green....fly it high....all just shows us that there's no one way except what you can do the most consistently- and no one can ever be consistent every day.
If you can chip, you don't have to know how to putt. :-p Personally, I still think that Phil Mickelson is one of the all time greatest players around the green. His sister Tina could also give most of us meaningful instructions on wedge play. And Lee Trevino has to be one of the great wedge players of all time. How many of your golf buddies can put enough spin on to back up a Top Flite ball that is only slightly softer than a ball bearing?
So putting was the secret to chipping jack thanks for the tip lol what a copout only way to get good at chipping is practice and Experience can't teach that
Michael Breed was on the golf channel a few years ago. Man was that guy hard to listed too with the shrill voice and machine gun delivery. Honestly, I always thought he should have hired a voice coach.
At the age of 53 and playing my whole life my advise is"Did anyone teach you how to hammer a nail or did you just do it?" You are your own best golf coach, nobody knows your body like you do. Go have fun, enjoy the game, and win. Pound that nail!!!
I left a poorly written comment but I hope I got my point across. I have loved this game since I got bit by it at age 8. I wish everyone reading this good luck.
To follow your analogy there is so much more to golf than "pounding a nail". It would be more like building a house. All the skills amd different areas of the game. Full swings, half swings, wedge play, pitching, chipping, putting, green reading, lies, course strategy, ball flights, conditions etc. Would you have to learn how to build a house? As far as swinging a hammer it would be more like driving all sorts of different nails into different surfaces with different types of hammers. And yes there are many different ways to swing a hammer. Many are super ineffective. You cant just over simplify the sport and the skills involved. What most people should really do is lower their expectations. "Just hit the nail" is a great way to shoot in the 90s which is fine if thats your goal but if its to truly get "good" at golf, that's another world.
@@jacobr4558 Just pound that nail. Keep at it young man. I'm a low single digit. Golf is a blast, I love everything about the game and don't take it seriously. 3 times a week is just enough to keep my wife from bothering me. 27 years of marriage will make you a very good golfer. I'd rather get struck by lightning than listen to her B.S. I owe my best scores to her. Last week I shot 2 under. When I got home I had to shovel the dog shit, mow the yard, then cook dinner. She never even asked me what I shot. Over the years I have realized that nobody gives a damn how you play. Go have fun young man, get some birds, and play your best!
At best I'm a duffer. Can't hit irons and my driver has 3 golf ball dents on top. But it seems I was born with a sand wedge in my hands, no matter where I'm chipping from I either hole it or set up for a 1 putt. I make a bit of dough off my friends doing so. Somebody please teach me the rest of this bloody game.
damn greg norman really fucked up severino ballesteros twice

Watson says he is just changing grip, not only grip but his follow through is longer which causes also ball go higher. All respect to Watson but in this case grip is not only causing ball go higher.
Extreme talent is unable to speak to us simpletons. Tom knows he's doing a little more than 'grip', but it comes so naturally to him, it can't be explained really.
Plenty of chances - the question is what is the amateur comfortable with - then commit to it. If there was only one way and you are uncomfortable with that way it would be a problem... This way you get to pick from the pros - try it on - choose the method that feels best - rinse and repeat
Ametuers have tons of chances. Just like any other sport you wouldn't expect to go out and be good at basketball without practicing or ping-pong or bowling or anything! You would have to actually put in some effort. Golf is not an easy game and it's not just a game of a bunch of Secrets and tricks. Its trial/error/confusion/success/failure/discouragement/elation etc...If you are looking for an easy game there are tons of other options.
@@jacobr4558 Never suggested I was looking for an easy game , these pros practice for hours with the best facilities and have the natural ability and technique .Here in the UK a lot of clubs don't even have any practice facilities such as chipping greens, practice bunkers etc, and any practice or playing time for people who work is greatly reduced during winter months. There is a big difference between knowing how it should be done and actually having the ability to do it, which the majority of amateurs don't, that's why the average handicap in the UK is 17 despite the so called improvement in equipment and all these coaches on TH-cam now telling you how to play like a pro.
Funny how different those first lessons were from each other. The first three players used three different methods to do basically the same thing. Which one is correct? All three a correct because the real lesson is to pick one method that you are comfortable with and practice it a lot. I'm sure that none of those players could get any decent results without. lot of practice.
Gary Player makes comedy of fake arrogance. He's a living legend. I'll miss him when he's gone. Same with Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicklaus, etc, etc, etc.
He is right in 1 aspect. Not in truth. He says "hit it high your going to cry/die. Byron Nelson said the exact opposite. "There is no trouble in the air". On the ground there are many variables as to grain, hills, indention, etc. If you can carry it close to the hole with a little spin its not any easier or harder. Just a different option.
You Rock, Jim McDowell! This is a nice overview and selection of tips! Thank you for this 6 years later...
So many great quotes . " A butterfly with sore feet " .
Awesome vid, Jim. There's nothing like tapping some of the greatest golf minds / players like these iconic pros.
Travino is a legend.We need more Trevinos. He was so entertaining to watch in the 70s and 80s etc. Makes the game fun as it should be.
I think he is great too, but don't listen to his advice. Nearly everything he said in this video is completely wrong. His method is fine, but the ball action and bounce explanations weren't accurate.
Lee Trevino is my favorite. I got to follow him for a round at a US Senior Open once. He was paired with Chi Chi. What a fun time.

Glad I found this, a great string of tips from the best!
Not for nothing but in my opinion this is one of the best segments ever done for golf instruction...
Paddy has the best tip. Chip with almost no weight on right foot. Hes underrated.
I really like Paddy's and Annika's tips. Keeping the weight on your left leg throughout the chip and your legs relatively still is the foundation of a great chipping technique.
I like head forward of the ball as well

You would have to actually put in some effort. Golf is not an easy game and it's not just a game of a bunch of Secrets and tricks. Its trial/error/confusion/success/failure/discouragement/elation etc...If you are looking for an easy game there are tons of other options.
@@jacobr4558 Never suggested I was looking for an easy game , these pros practice for hours with the best facilities and have the natural ability and technique .Here in the UK a lot of clubs don't even have any practice facilities such as chipping greens, practice bunkers etc, and any practice or playing time for people who work is greatly reduced during winter months.
There is a big difference between knowing how it should be done and actually having the ability to do it, which the majority of amateurs don't, that's why the average handicap in the UK is 17 despite the so called improvement in equipment and all these coaches on TH-cam now telling you how to play like a pro.
Funny how different those first lessons were from each other. The first three players used three different methods to do basically the same thing. Which one is correct? All three a correct because the real lesson is to pick one method that you are comfortable with and practice it a lot. I'm sure that none of those players could get any decent results without. lot of practice.
Gary Player is so full of himself, but he's right.
makes up for the height.....But he's the first to the modern career Slam....wouldnt you be?
bought his instructional series, he knows his stuff
Of the 5 that have won the modern career slam, Player is the 4th. Sarazen was first, Hogan second, Nicklaus third, then Player then Woods.
Gary Player makes comedy of fake arrogance. He's a living legend. I'll miss him when he's gone. Same with Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicklaus, etc, etc, etc.
He is right in 1 aspect. Not in truth. He says "hit it high your going to cry/die. Byron Nelson said the exact opposite. "There is no trouble in the air". On the ground there are many variables as to grain, hills, indention, etc. If you can carry it close to the hole with a little spin its not any easier or harder. Just a different option.
Gary Player did not hit a chip, he actually putted with a six iron, if you ask me.
It left the ground clearing the fringe so it's a chip.
