Instructors Carolin Pinegger

Carolin Pinegger explains why the landing spot is the first decision you should make when chipping. Use that spot, and the hole location, to pick the proper club every time.

I thought a "Texas wedge" was flipping the putter and using the toe?
I was taught that as a strategy for when off the green in higher grass or up against a cut.

Great Tip Carolin !!!! I am a 10 handicapper and certainly chipping around the green is my Waterloo. I can't wait to go out and practice your tip--I'm sure I will see better results. Many Thanks !

I cannot access these videos. Is anyone else having this problem? I've set up an account.

Is there any issue with de-lofting the 56 degree club and playing it further back in your stance to accomplish the same goal? Rather than switching to a 52 degree or PW in your case. Thank you for your help.

Wow, great tip. Thank you

Great tip. Love how it simplifies the approach and minimize swing thought. Hit the tee. Simple

Missed a great opportunity to talk about the "rule of 12" ...which is where I thought you were going with the same landing spot and expected roll out.

Thank you. I've been doing this all wrong, thinking about holing it. This will produce better scores for me.
