Stubbing a chip has got to be the most frustrating shot in golf next to missing a 3 foot putt (the way Rory McIlroy did at the US Open). We cover so much ground with our driver and irons and then waste so many shots when we try to finish our hole with a weak short game. Why is this so difficult? Sort out the right technique and you will save 10 to 18 strokes by hitting more one putt greens on every round.

Choose the Right Club for the Right Job;
Mid to High handicap golfers get frustrated hitting fat chips that often only dribble up to the green, so as an easy fix you may choose a putter to make your short approach shots. Choosing a putter to hit from off the green is the loser’s choice.
a. The grass surface is typically rough so you can’t control the direction with your putter.
b. Your mind is tuned into swinging your putter on the faster putting surface of the green . It’s extremely difficult to change your mental outlook when putting from off the green. You will most likely putt short or well past the hole.

When you are off the green use the right lofted wedge to clear the rugged grass, land on the green and roll to the hole. LEARN to use a wedge by practicing and using the right technique.

When pitching from off the green and especially on an uphill lie, practice for consistent success and to learn the flight and roll out for each of your lofted clubs.

Technique for Pitching Success up to 25 Yards:
At address, center the ball between your feet, position your chest forward of the ball (don’t think weight forward), think chest forward, allow your shaft to tilt forward and lift your club head slightly off the ground. From there, you should feel like you’re making an extended putting stroke.

Keegan Bradley said he was as surprised as anyone to be selected as captain of the next U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Golfer Joost Luiten of the Netherlands won't be going to the Olympics in Paris after all.

Do you like or maybe even love the TaylorMade Golf TP5 (and TP5x) pix pattern but wish it came in yellow?

Well, now it does.

Guys, there’s no tech story here (at least not above and beyond the one we’ve already told).

The selling point of these new TaylorMade balls is that yellow offers increased visibility and while that’s probably true, it’s also true that some people just like yellow golf balls.

Color is fun.

For the season thus far, Vokey WedgeWorks releases have been relatively straightforward. That is to say there hasn’t been anything we haven’t seen before. And while that’s perhaps not as exciting as new grinds with exotic finishes (heard of Slate Blue? The best finish), it’s reflective of an effort by the Vokey team to make lineup staples like the low bounce K Grind and L Grind available to golfers who want them, even when they’re not included in the stock retail lineup.

With the launch of the Vokey WedgeWorks A+ Grind lob wedge, we get our first taste of something different built on the SM10 platform.

The WedgeWorks A+ is the first new grind we’ve seen from Vokey in a while but it isn’t entirely unfamiliar.

As you may know, “grind” simply refers to the shape of the sole. With that, there are infinite possibilities, even if the real-world results are subtle modifications of the tried and true.

Case in point: The WedgeWorks A Grind launched in November of last year. Simply, an A Grind is an L Grind (one of Vokey’s staple low-bounce offerings) with the ribbon (the transition point between the center portion of the sole and the trailing edge) smoothed out.

The Americans went off the board for their 2025 Ryder Cup captain. 

Way off the board.

Keegan Bradley, at 39, will be the youngest American captain in more than 60 years. He is set to lead the U.S. side at Bethpage Black 14 months from now. 

The move is incredibly surprising on multiple fronts. 

For one, the Americans had been sticking with the European model of having assistant captains rise through the ranks to assume the head captaincy. Following Tom Watson’s disastrous 2014 captaincy, the following four American captains all had extensive experience as assistant captains in previous Ryder Cups. All of them were well past their playing primes while they were captain. The idea had been to establish a consistent model of how teams were constructed and led. 

Bryson DeChambeau is all the rage at the moment.

He won the U.S. Open for the second time and has become the greatest showman in golf. His 55-yard bunker shot on the 72nd hole will now go down as one of the most timely clutch shots in major championship history.

Unlike several prominent players who left the PGA Tour for LIV, DeChambeau’s decision has resulted in some of the best golf of his career while also allowing him the flexibility to create content on the side.

A big part of that content is DeChambeau’s bustling YouTube channel. When the final putt dropped at the U.S. Open, his channel had 695,000 subscribers. A few weeks later, that number has already exceeded 800,000 subscribers.

And it’s not just big subscriber numbers—the views and engagement on his videos are unprecedented for a player of his caliber. Just one week after posting about winning the U.S. Open, the video had over 700,000 views.
