USE THE 8 IRON

One of the best ways to add strokes to your scorecard is by using a wedge around the greens

Especially for new golfers or people who don't golf much

Chipping with a 52 56 or 60 degree wedge requires a ton of precision

Instead, try using your 7 or 8 iron from around the green and just hit it like a putt

An 8 iron is much more forgiving and carries more weight, making it easier for the clubhead to slide through the grass

General rule of thumb:

If you can, putt it

If you have to chip, use an 8 iron

And in the rare case of having to elevate the ball quickly, then use a wedge
