Chipping and "grippy" grass | Golf Monthly

The second cut at Forest Pines was brutal to chip from. Some proper wrist breaker stuff at times.

Ours is very similar, the top of the ball is only just showing level with thick compact level second cut, then add a bit of wet stuff as it did yesterday morning as it rained for a few hours as we teed off and it becomes bloody brutal and you really have to commit.

I just make sure I keep my hands well forward and get through the ball, something I always work on in our practice area before going out, chipping from the second cut just off the nicely prepared cut grass where everyone else thinks they're going to stay on and only practice off!
