    how come every once in a while on a chip shot the ball only goes 2 yards, no matter how hard you hit it? It happened twice, back to back in the same spot. Costing me 2 extra strokes. I hit the ball in different positions, and the second shot harder than the first with no change. I call bs.

    Also, how does a person with decent vision lose a ball in weeds? If I were that blind I wouldn't be playing golf.

    Very few weeds you can chip or pitch from...most demand a punch or full shot.

    Be careful to land a chip on fringe or green, it will get stuck in higher ground.

    Imagine that it flies only 20% of the length, allow an extra for rough %%.

    In consequence, don't chip from rough, use punch or full shots instead.

    ... or pitch, or flop, lol. Just stay away from chips unless that 20-30% of carry you'll get will make it to fringe or green.

    never chio if your more than two yards off the green use pitch or punch or flop depending on the %ed of the rough
