Lesson Summary
You will learn to chip and putt with control in order to keep your score as low as possible.
Key Notes
- Move: a smooth and controlled putting stroke requires feet equidistant either side of the ball and a light grip.
- Move: a half swing with full follow through helps get under a chip to lift the ball high into an arced trajectory.
- Think: if the path to the hole is not level, then the direction and weight behind the putt needs to be adjusted.
- Feel: striving to keep trying even if you find it hard requires self-motivation.
- Connect: supporting our partners and opponents in golf requires self-discipline and ensures everyone can enjoy the game.
Vocabulary To Learn
- green: the smoothest surface on the course and where the flagstick (pin) and hole are located
- pin: the flagstick, which is a tall, thin pole placed in the hole on the green
- putt: a specific type of shot typically made on the green
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils think you can putt the ball successfully just by lining up to the ball, forgetting that the green slopes and isn't flat.
