hi peter, this is paul. your student from overseas! i have to review back to lesson 5 because i can’t find a consistent shot. out of 10 chip shots, i only get around 2 or 3 that are perfect. the rest are either hit over the ball or too low that it hits more dirt than ball. thank you for the videos! they work great.

Dear Hitman49,

In regards your question here on making a more consistent strike on the ball and therefore being able to hit the ball both straight and the right length so the ball can finish close to the pin, may I suggest the following:
1. Make sure you are set up for the “chip shot” with a correct grip and stance.
2. Start with very slow “practice swings” where you consistently brush the ground in the same place.
3. Next make small “chip shot” swings and use a golf tee as a target.
4. Now add a golf ball on top of the tee where the tee is very low to the ground and hit the ball consistently only 1 to 2 metres. When you can achieve this consistently, remove the tee and hit shots off the ground from good lies.
5. Move out in distance hitting the ball an extra 1 metre at a time and only extend the distance you hit it when you can hit a minimum of 3 to 5 balls in a row to that distance.
Doing this type of practice allows you to gain more comptence and in the process more confidence and consistency.

PS: This question would be better posted on “The Step by Step” Thread and I will also post it there for those following that Thread.

I was always a bit concerned about taking lessons until I heard about the Peter Croker System… If you have the patience this training technique is truly amazing.. My grip has improved therefore I’m making accurate and better contact..my stance was incorrect and you don’t realize these small but important adjustments until you see yourself on video.. It will take time as you start from hitting that perfect chip shot eventually hitting a perfect full swing.. Get on board it is 100% beneficial.
