[quote=BrianW]Well, the question was referring to chipping so our answers are on the assumption that's what someone decided as the best shot

Thanks for all of your posts - much appreciated. Brian, thanks for being true to my question.

ogallabob, I think you nailed it. For the shorter putts I need to take a slower backswing and swing slow - but accelerating - thru the ball.

I was going to hit the driving range today, but at -6 I chickened out.

cheers,

James
