Definition: A shot typically played from very close to the green, usually within a few yards of the putting surface, in which the ball is struck using a club (usually 6-iron to PW) played back in the player's stance. Such a combination produces a shot that is in the air very briefly before settling to the putting surface and rolling toward the cup. Chip shots are usually played with a 6-, 7-, 8- or 9-iron or pitching wedge. Chip shots differ from pitch shots in that pitch shots are meant to have a higher trajectory that results in a shot landing closer to the pin and rolling just a bit. Pitch shots are typically played from farther off the green than chip shots. --  Brent Kelly's advice found on About.com:golf The above golfer hit a clean chip onto the green. I had to take pictures for our community newsletter.  The editor and I followed a few golfers around for 4 or 5 holes.  It was the first time I had seen the entire course.  It is beautiful. I can see me doing 9 holes real soon. My neighbor and others keep telling me to come and play with the 9-hole-rs.  They just like to have fun and some don't even keep score.
