Get the Ball Rolling
If you have a solid short game, you can rescue a lot of bad drives and approaches. The key to chipping is to get the ball rolling as soon as you can. Look at the lie: If the ball is sitting down deep in the grass, use a more lofted club. If the lie is tight, you want less loft.

Also, don't try to spin your chips; you'll get better roll with less spin. If you're hitting them fat, avoid the temptation to move the ball back in your stance. The reason you're hitting it fat is that the angle you're bringing the club down on is too steep, and this causes the clubhead to hit the ground first. With the ball back, you're just going to come in even steeper.
If your ball is in the rough, use a more lofted club.
