Now what you can look at is a variation on this standard chip shot. You can look at it as a sort of hybrid type of golf shot. It is not only part chip, but it also happens to be part putt as well. It is much simpler than it may initially sound to you as well. It is going to be most useful for you when your distance needed is relatively short, such as anywhere below 20 yards worth of distance, but when the ground between the green and your ball appears to be a little bumpy.
The Putt - Chip
1 - Begin by taking a fairly lofted club such as an 8 or a 9 iron, setting the ball up in such a way as if you were preparing for a longer putt. Now place your weight over on your left side, positioning the ball opposite of the left heel. Make sure that you are adopting your typical grip for putting. This is going to help to deaden the impact of the ball while enabling you to keep control of the length of the shot in a more accurate manner.
2 - Now you need to simply go ahead with your swing, focusing on making an extension upon your typical putting stroke.
3 - Now what you are going to want to do is to make a fairly brisk action, clipping the ball away.
4 - Now you should find that the ball has been gently lobbed forward, fairly low and with a good amount of run.
5 - Now the ball is going to race in the direction of the hole, just like a long putt would.
Now we are going to look at the high-floating lob shot.
This is a shot that you are only going to want to play if there is no other option available to you. The classic example of such a scenario is when there is a bunker between the flag and the ball. If you have a lot of green to work with, then forget about it, because there are a number of other, much safer shots that are much better suited to the particular task.
1 - The best way for the high-floater to be described is for us to say that it is almost completely the same as if you were playing from a greenside bunker. First thing that you are going to need to do is to align your feet, your hips and your shoulders to just a little to the left of your intended target. This is what is known as an open stance.
2 - Now you are going to want to take out your sand wedge, aligning the club face just a little bit to the right of your target, which is known as an open club. Position your ball so that it is forward in your stance, just roughly opposite of the left heel.
... Continued in part three.

Woo – first comment on your blog!
I once was a keen hockey player but a ligament injury in my wrist has put me out of the game.
I have been wondering how I can replace my hockey activity and I think Golf is the answer!
Your little guides are really good and have helped me visualise myself as a golf player rather than restricting myself to the driving range.
Thanks!
