If you want to start shooting better scores, spending practice time on your short game is the quickest way to accomplish that goal.

When it comes to the short game, and chipping in particular, one problem that many amateurs have is that they flip their hands at impact in an effort to help the ball in the air, which leads to all sorts of problems.

In this video segment, SwingFix instructor Karen Palacios-Jansen joins Holly Sonders on the School of Golf set and she has a couple of great drills to help improve your chipping.

Try these drills at home or around the practice green and you’ll start getting the ball up and down more often when you’re on the course.
