Golf Tips For Beginners: Learn When To Chip And Pitch

Monday, August 9th, 2010

I'm always asked by beginner golfers, what is the difference between a chip and a pitch?? The two shots can be defined in many ways, so lets discuss the difference between the two shots and when you'd decide to play them.

The first way a chip or pitch shot can be categorized is by the distance of the shot. Not by the overall distance of the shot but the distance you are from the edge of the green. A chip shot can be categorized as a short game shot that is played within 10 metres of the greens edge. To futher qualify the difference between the two, the flight of the golf ball must be considered. Any shot played with a wedge that flies more than around 50% of the total distance should be considered a pitch shot. Under 50% will be a chip shot. The club used must also be considered. Pitch shots are generally played with a lofted club, usually one of your wedges. Chipping can also be done with a lofted wedge but the flight of the shot must be considered when deciding, as per the last rule.
