Of All the Chipping Tips, This is the Simplest One to Practice
Of All the Chipping Tips, This is the Simplest One to Practice originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When it comes to sharing chipping tips, I'm a sucker for listening to anyone who can help my short game shots. After all, when you can master shots near the green, you often score much lower. Advertisement While most amateur golfers only focus on putting practice to shave strokes off their scorecards, they're really not doing themselves any favors — since having to sink a long-distance putt to save par puts added pressure on them — which is where a masterful short game comes into play. So what's an easy way to practice chipping without buying some crazy training aid or fidgeting with your technique over and over? The Rainmakers Golf crew asked top-ranked golf coach Brian Mogg, who shared one of the easiest chipping tips you'll ever see. This Chipping Tip Will Transform Your Short Game View the original article to see embedded media. When you either chunk or skull a chip in golf — and everyone reading this no doubt has — there are a few different reasons why it might happen. Advertisement Whether you came in too steep with your club, transferred your weight wrong, decelerated on the downswing, or just totally botched the setup, these are all recipes for disaster — and they aren't easy to just quickly clean up. But Mogg offers up a simple chipping tip that can help reset your mind and feels around the green: One-handed chipping! In the video above, Mogg shares why, of all the chipping tips, practicing with just one hand is the one you should commit to using most. 'In modern golf, chipping is a lot different than 30 or 40 years ago,' Mogg explains. 'You've got so many different clubhead designs, so now when you release it, it's no longer a hit and hold to grab the grip through.' Advertisement So what's the preferred and more modernized way of chipping? Mogg says that it's more of a release of the clubhead. 'You want to be able to thump the [bounce of the club] off of the ground,' he adds. This is where one-handed chipping practice comes into play. 'A good drill to practice this is one-handed chipping,' Mogg shares. 'This teaches you how to release the clubhead, with the grip at impact almost going backwards as the club goes forward. 'Too many amateurs try to pull and drag that club forward, which produces very inconsistent results.' While there are hundreds of different chipping tips out there, Mogg's one-handed tip feels like a cheat code that can lead to softer short-game shots that sit closer to the flagstick. So give it a try during your next golf practice session.

Ethan Fang birdies final hole to become first American in 18 years to win British Amateur
SANDWICH, England — Oklahoma State junior Ethan Fang held off a late charge Saturday with a 5-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 1-up victory over Gavin Tiernan of Ireland, becoming the first American in 18 years to win the British Amateur. The match at Royal St. George's was all square through 31 holes when Fang built a 2-up lead, Tiernan won the next two holes with big putts, and Fang won it on the 36th hole with an approach shot just 5 feet left of the hole.

Top seniors head to Grandover for Golfweek Senior National Championship
Grandover Resort has a rich history when it comes to hosting college golf events. The Greensboro, North Carolina, resort has welcomed everything from the NCAA Division III National Championship to NCAA Division I Men's Regionals to the ACC Women's Golf Championship. And now, once again, it's the seniors' turn. Two years after extensive course renovations, Grandover will welcome a national field of senior amateurs for the Golfweek Senior National Championship. The 54-hole tournament will be played June 9-11 and players will compete in the usual four age divisions: Senior (ages 55-64), Super Senior (65-69), Legends (70-74) and Super Legends (75 and over). Grandover Resort ( The tournament will take place on Grandover's East Course, which features many tree-lined fairways as well as several holes that have a 'stadium-type effect.' The East, as well as Grandover's neighboring West Course, was designed by David Graham and Gary Panks. Advertisement A year ago, Trent Gregory won the senior division title after making birdie on the first extra hole against Michael Arasin. But neither Gregory nor Arasin will not be in the field this week, clearing the way for a new Senior Division winner. Undoubtedly, the favorite entering the event is Bryan Hoops, a Tempe, Arizona, resident who turned 56 in February and made his debut on the Golfweek senior circuit the same month. Hoops lost to Bob Royak, a former U.S. Senior Amateur champion, after a lengthy playoff at the Golfweek Pirates Classic but then won back-to-back Golfweek senior events in the Southern California desert in April. After that he just kept on winning, claiming the Society of Seniors' Senior Masters trophy days after his Golfweek wins. Hoops also won the Trans-Mississippi Senior Championship in Rancho Mirage, California, and the Huddleston Cup in Carrollton, Texas, earlier this year. The senior division, however, also includes two-time defending Golfweek Senior Player of the Year Kevin VandenBerg, who won this event in 2022. VandenBerg and Hoops are Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, in the Golfweek National Senior Amateur Rankings. Advertisement In the Super Senior division, the top four players in the Golfweek rankings will all tee it up: Marcus Beck, Greg Goode, James Starnes and Stevie Cannady. That division also includes 2023 champion Bob Edens. Golfweek's top-ranked Legends player, Greg Osborne, is among the field in that division at Grandover and so is No. 2-ranked Jeff Knox. Defending champion George Owens is back in the Super Legends division. This article originally appeared on Golfweek: Golfweek Senior National Championship at Grandover Resort
