All About Golf Tips: the 7 Iron Chip
The All About Golf Tips 7 Iron Chip which is THE BEST WAY for the majority of amateur golfers to get the ball close to the hole, is also sometimes referred to as the “chip and run.” The simplicity of this 7 Iron shot is the reason for it’s great effectiveness. Breaking the shot down to it’s basic, simple swing allows up to drastically lower the margin of error one would make using the classic chip shot. Here is the All About Golf Tips Strategy for hitting this simple shot: When the ball is in a position just off the green surface, get into a setup position exactly the same as you would during a full swing shot. Then choke down about two or three inches on the club.
Move slightly closer to the ball to accommodate the choke. Make a stoke similar to a putting stroke only slightly harder. All About Golf Tips recommends that when you initally start using this shot you spend some time practicing it. All great golfers know that repetition is key to excellence. Also, All About Golf Tips knows that it takes practice to familiarize yourself with the distance control needed with different sized swings. Because the seven iron has much more loft than the putter it will be necessary to make a putting stroke. This putting stroke will be for a putt of the same length but only slightly larger than one used with a putter.
This is a direct result of the energy of the stroke being used to hit the ball up (due to the loft) rather than 100% of the energy directed to forward movement as is the case with a putt on the greens surface. All About Golf Tips.com recommends that you only use this shot when the carry distance (or the distance it needs to travel in the air) is short enough to land the ball on the green (or the fringe). All About Golf Tips.com also wants you to remember when considering this shot that the ball will roll according to the flow of the green.

On the full swing try to make sure the golf club is directly over your right shoulder and pointing toward the target. On the downswing, let your arms fall effortlessly and end with your belt buckle either facing the target or a little to the left of the target. Make sure your legs remain in an athletic position, never bending down or straightening up throughout the swing. "Make sure your take away is slow and maintain the triangle formed by your two arms through the entire swing!" The one piece take away works wonders. Remember to turn your shoulders and don't just lift the club with your arms. Make sure that left shoulder gets to the ball or behind it on the take away. Keep your head up so that the left shoulder can turn under your chin and maintain your spine angle. Most of all have fun, enjoy the scenery, enjoy of the outdoors, listen to the birds chirping. And what ever you do don't think about how well your scoring and you only need two more pars on the front or back nine to shoot your best score. Don't think too much and just let it happen. Get in the zone and you'll do just fine.
