In this video, Dr. Jim Suttie shares a valuable tip for amateurs struggling with a difficult greenside chip shot from the rough. The challenge is to stop the ball quickly on the green despite the rough terrain. Dr. Suttie demonstrates a technique using a high lofted club, specifically a 56-degree sand wedge, to achieve this shot successfully.
Dr. Suttie acknowledges that this particular shot (greenside chip) can be quite challenging for amateurs. The key is to hit the grass with the bottom of the club, known as the bounce, rather than the leading edge. By doing so, the ball will be lifted over the rough and land softly on the green.
Dr. Suttie demonstrates this technique by taking a swing and successfully executing the shot. He emphasizes the importance of hitting the grass before the ball and using the bounce of the club to lift the ball out of the rough.
