| I just wanted to add to this. This is something that has helped me and a lot of students greatly with their chipping. It's a simple tip, but often overlooked. When you're chipping, focus intently on the spot you want to land the ball, taking into account the speed of the greens and conditions you are faced with before you hit the shot.
What happens if you look at the hole when you chip is your brain says, ok the hole is that far away, this is how hard I have to hit it to get it to roll there. The problem with that is, conditions change throughout the day and from course to course, so your sense of feel may not always be accurate.
What focusing on your landing spot will do is make sure you stay consistent from course to course because you're not going to be generalizing based on your feel of the distance, you're going to be hitting to a precise spot, no matter what the conditions are.
This is something you can do for every shot in the bag. Do as much as you can to play a good shot before you hit the shot; in the setup. Visualize and make a few practice strokes feeling that shot happening, then all you have to do is execute what is on loop in your head!
