Short game fiasco

  Anybody have tips for chipping and pitching, especially on Black?  I get the feeling that these shots have been made especially difficult, but I haven't been able to master them no matter what I try.  In my darker moments I suspect WGT of sabotaging my good rounds.

  Thanks Snaike for calling my attention to the chipping/pitching/punch thread, which was very helpful.

  There is also one of the best threads on putting here..   well, its a link to an off-site guide.

  When you get ready to look at new equipment, be sure to check out Nivlac's Pro-shop comparison guild here.

  You'll be a master in no time.

  hi i think it is almost impossible to chip out of the rough, the program is not set up very well to enable these shots not to completely spoil the game.

  You are correct. That's why you would be better served to try 'pitching' out of the rough. Even flopping is a better option, once you spend some time practicing it.

  Also if you play less ctth and more stroke-play you'll soon get used to it.

  +1!

  +100 concerning the Starter wedges, they are the weakest clubs in that bag IMHO.

  You should be close to the Ping wedges - two short ones would nicely replace the dreaded Starters...
