Revisiting short chip shots

By Golden Tee Fan • Jun 7th, 2008 • Category: Chipping, Features

If there’s one area of my Golden Tee game I’ve improved the most, it’s probably my chipping from just off the green. Most amateurs have the mindset that if they roll off the green and can’t putt, they’ve lost a stroke. But, with enough practice and these tips, you’ll be holing out much […]



Chip shots in Golden Tee

By Golden Tee Fan • Oct 30th, 2007 • Category: Chipping

Chipping is very important in Golden Tee. Besides putting, the best players make up the most strokes on amateurs due to their chipping skills. I’m not at an elite level yet, but I can give you the basic tips on how to give yourself the best chance of chipping the ball in the […]



Chips under 10 yards

By Golden Tee Fan • Oct 22nd, 2007 • Category: Chipping

There comes a point where you’re so close to the pin on a chip shot in Golden Tee where you can’t flip the trackball forward gently enough to keep the ball in front of the pin. That point usually comes from within 10 yards, or if you are using a low-iron for a bump-and-run. […]



Bump-and-run chips

By Golden Tee Fan • Oct 16th, 2007 • Category: Chipping

These shots in Golden Tee give you the best chance of holing out a chip. If you are in the fringe and only have green in front of you, it’s definitely a great tip to pick a less-lofted club like a 5-iron to punch and run the ball to the hole. There are […]



Lofty chips

By Golden Tee Fan • Oct 16th, 2007 • Category: Chipping

When shooting out of a bunker, over a bunker, or any other shot where you need carry into the green, use a wedge to get that loft. The problem with lofty clubs in Golden Tee, as mentioned above, is that they are affected much more by wind and green slope. The best tip […]



Club selection for fringe chips

By Golden Tee Fan • Oct 16th, 2007 • Category: Chipping

So which club should you use for fringe shots onto the green in Golden Tee? Well, much like real golf, the best tip is to pick the club that you think can carry the ball onto the green from the fringe, and you want to utilize as much roll as possible.



Chipping with slope

By Golden Tee Fan • Oct 16th, 2007 • Category: Chipping

It’s very important to factor in the slope on your chip in Golden Tee. The best tip is to try to visualize where your ball will land after wind takes its toll, and then take slope into account also. Slope also affects a short, high chip much more than you think it would, […]



Chipping with wind

By Golden Tee Fan • Oct 16th, 2007 • Category: Chipping

You won’t believe me until you really see it, but wind plays a very big factor during chip shots in Golden Tee. Being so close to the pin, you wouldn’t think that the wind would blow chip shots off track, but it really does! A tip I use often times is to rotate […]



Chipping distance

By Golden Tee Fan • Oct 16th, 2007 • Category: Chipping

On most chips in Golden Tee, you’re close enough that you won’t be able to crank the trackball forwards – these become true “feel” shots. If your wedge goes 50 yards, you’ll have to get a feel of how hard to shoot the trackball so you can execute chips of 40, 30, and 20 […]
