Community Discussion On Chipping and Putting

 @-Roasted513-  @davefv92 

Great topic to chat about.

I play a lot of online myself and while I don't see a ton of golfers chipping on the green on a regular basis I do see some situations where it makes more sense to chip if you're convinced you don't have a shot to sink the putt, such as a hill with really steep downslope break. 

You're allowed to chip on the green in the PGA Tour and the pros do it every so often. In a lot of the videos they opted to either chip it instead of making a long putt or had chip because the line to the hole was obstructed. Tried to chip on the green yesterday at the golf course for kicks after seeing this post and watching the pros do it. Let's just say....I'll be leaving that to the pros lol.

Some questions for you:

• Are you all talking about the chips from long distances on the green or when they are on the fringe close to the hole? 
• If the ability to chip from the green was removed, do you think the community would feel it doesn't represent authentic PGA Tour rules with those limitations?
• Instead of removing the ability to chip and help encourage more golfers to putt, should chip accuracy from the green be more inconsistent?
• Lastly, any tips from the community on how to be a better putter by sharing any screenshots or videos of your best shots and break down how you set up your putts?

Thank you for creating this discussion. Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!
