The Short Chip, an Excellent Golf Gambling Opportunity

One of the most profitable proposition golf bets I make on a regular basis while hustling, or gambling, at golf is when I am on the fringe of the green.

The short chip, near the edge of the putting green, became a serial money maker for me when I began to practice the following tip.

It kills me to see even experienced golfers shorten their stroke and “jab” at the ball when they attempt a short chip.

Actually I like it because I know I’m going to win the hole and make my money but it still irritates me for some reason and gambling aside, here’s a good way for you to kill the nerves and stop flipping the clubhead at the ball.

One excellent suggestion is to channel the late, great Bruce Lee. That’s right, we’re going to karate chop this bad boy right next to the cup. Here’s how to practice:

Without your wedge, get in your normal position to hit a chip. Bring your left hand away and rest it loosely on your left thigh. Swing your right arm back as if you’re about to hit a 12-yard chip and come back down your target line with your right palm facing away from your body as it passes over the ball (where your clubhead would strike it).

By “karate chopping” your way through the impact zone, you’ll eliminate that excess wrist movement and feel smoother through impact because you’re no longer “flipping” the club at the ball.

Now practice this drill over and over with a wedge in your hands and both hands on the club. Trust me, you’ll never again feel uncertain or nervous when you are just off the green.

In fact I’m confident that you’ll actually look forward to being 10-15 yards from the pin, knowing that the money’s already in the hole.

Make the most of this opportunity at all times by pressing for extra gambling ventures here and bet, bet, bet that you will get the ball within a certain radius of the pin. Force yourself to make this bet here every time.

Two things will happen. You’ll both make and win the bet or you’ll keep loosening up your opponents and get them into the habit of accepting your proposition bets.

The looser your opponent is and the more out of control you seem, the more money you’ll win from him over the round.

Setup your golf shots like a pro Hustler

To make money hustling golf, you need to be consistent. The number one step you can take to achieve this goal is to setup correctly each and every time you address the ball. Make more money golfing with this step-by-step primer on how to setup correctly every time you go to swing your golf club.

One thing I always notice when golfing is that no matter how good or bad someone golfs, very few take the necessary steps to prepare for hitting the ball. This is a short but important golf lesson and one of the best golf tips I have ever written.

If you have any desire to hustle golf or even gamble for fun, you will dramatically increase your chances if you have an effective, step-by-step pre-hot routine.

So many golfers take very little time in setting up and addressing the ball. They just get up, get in a stance, and swing away. it is impossible to be a real gof hustler or to gamble at golf sucessfully without a pre-shot routine!

When I'm playing golf, whether I'm gambling and hustling or just playing for fun, one thing that I always do before each and every shot is very simple but effective and this lesson will have you doing it too. It's a short, consistent setup drill.

Think for a minute about what you do when you approach the golf ball. If you have no consistent routine for addressing the ball but still wonder why you don’t have consistent ball striking, I have one question for you.

What the heck do you expect?!!

I laugh at golfers who set up haphazardly and wonder why they hit their irons fat or thin and have no consistency in their ball striking.

Listen to what Jack Nicklaus has to say on the matter:

“If you set up correctly, there’s a good chance you’ll hit a reasonable shot, even if you make a mediocre swing. If you set up the ball poorly, you’ll hit a lousy shot even if you make the greatest swing in the world.”

So, clearly we need to set up with some consistency and correctly each and every time we want to hit the ball.

Here are 6 easy steps to take to set up every time you address the ball in order to get into a consistent groove and hit solid shots that the pros use and for some reason almost no professional teacher will teach you while taking your money for lessons.

I guess they figure if they teach you enough to get a little better but not enough to truly get better on your own, you’ll have to keep paying them.

Anyway, here we go. I execute this set-up plan each and every time I get ready to hit the ball.

It may seem time consuming at first but after a few times at the driving range or rounds on the course, it’ll be second nature.

Besides, it takes a heck of a lot less time to set up this way than it does to look for your ball in the woods 4-5 times per round!

Let’s get started:

1. Get your feet in position first. Stand the right distance for you away from the ball with your feet together and with your elbows bent at your sides, arms in front of you and holding the club in the air. The club should be perpendicular to the ground with the head in the air.

2. Open your feet to shoulder width, make sure the ball is in the proper position in your stance, depending on which club you are going to use. The club head should still be in the air in front of you.

3. Now, without moving the club yet, you want to lock your knees stiff.

4. Bend down, lowering the club head behind the ball. Keep your knees straight, bend down from your hips and keep your back, shoulder blades and spine straight.

5. Now you can bend your knees, relaxing them slightly but not too much. Always feel like your leg muscles are “engaged”.

6. Lastly, tilt the upper body to the right so that your head is just behind the ball. Guess what? You’re ready to hit!

I cannot stress enough how much your game will improve if you are consistently following this set up approach.

You can get a free newsletter at my website if you want, where I’ll be blowing the lid off of more things the “driving range pro” won’t teach you in future lessons, so keep your eyes peeled!


Until then, thanks for reading. Good luck.
