Summary
Do you play golf to shoot your lowest scores—or to bubble wrap your ego? In this episode, Mark and Lou take up a listener question on chipping. Most golfers get around the green and grab a wedge (often their most lofted wedge) for almost all their shots. But there are other options: from irons to hybrids to fairway woods to putter to—yes, even chippers. Is your short game a part of golf in which you lose shots for ego reasons?

| 0:00.0 | Question time. Me and Lou in the house. Greg is busy this week. So it's just me and Lou. And I've got a question from David Barash. David. David says he loves the show. I've been listening from the start. Thank you, David. And the content is entertaining and fantastic. I wonder if you could consider an episode on the use of hybrids for chipping. |
| 0:21.5 | I've seen several videos on using a hybrid for long chip and runs |
| 0:25.5 | and some for little taps from the rough just off the green. |
| 0:30.1 | I've tried it with some practice. |
| 0:32.0 | It seems like a pretty good option. |
| 0:34.5 | What do you think? |
| 0:35.8 | And what would you recommend? |
| 0:37.3 | Any tips, thanks David. So he's |
| 0:39.4 | seeing people talking about using a hybrid to chip with from he's saying just off the green and |
| 0:44.1 | obviously longer chip and runs. A little bit of advice. Can you do it? Those kind of things is this |
| 0:49.2 | question. I think that's a really good question. My moral, do I tell you what my moral is, |
| 0:55.3 | Lou? |
| 0:55.6 | I want to hear it. |
| 0:56.6 | Chip with whatever gets the more closest. |

| 1:14.6 | And he missed the green by literally feet on the cut, first cut of, you know, it's not rough. |
| 1:23.6 | He's on the first cut of fringe. |
| 1:27.3 | He's two feet off green. He chips it from about 15 foot away. And the commentator says, I can't believe he's chipping that. And then the other commentator says, well, he likes chipping like he'd rather chip than putt. When that kind of makes sense to me, I think, cool. Like, he'd rather chip than putt. He's better at chipping than he is putting. But my brain just instantly thinks, is he, though? He, like, has he tested that? Like, I know he's good at chipping, and he chipped it to a foot and tapped it in. So he's going to go right choice. But I just think that just, I want, if someone says that to me i want that proved because i |
