[Pro] Chipping: too hard or just broken?

Sorry for being off topic!  I just wanted the OP to know that I didn't feel it was just on chipping that his problem was being observed. Thanks for the advice on the chipping,pitching and flop shot distances. 

Lol no worries.  I didn’t realize you were not specifically talking about chipping until it was pointed out 🙂!

I agree with the perfect/perfect execution and there being no guarantees because of things that you don't control like the wind, elevation, etc., but for a shot to be perfect/perfect with no wind and be off by 10-20 yards, in the air, is a little hard to swallow.

I don't have issues with chipping. The only time I had a chip miss by 10 feet is at Cardi Creek (aka Wolf Creek) with 20+ mph winds. For all other courses, it is about a 3 ft miss. I also would not attempt a chip if the distance is over 8 yards from the hole. The 8 yards come from what the distance says when I attempt the shot; from the angle the shot looks lesser than 8 yards.  Just in case the only shot I have for over 8 yards is the chip, I will account for distance and angle to insure I am within 3 feet of the hole for a par instead. When I attempt the chip, I do not put the cursor next to the hole. I put it a little short to ensure I do not miss by a lot when I actually miss.

Agree

There is nothing wrong with Chipping, it's all about skills, practice, practice and practice, just like in real life.

Quick Play and Challenges are the best way to practice the chip shot. If I have an 8 yard or under chip outside the green, I have improved to an 85% make. I also use chip shots on difficult greens with many putt breaks like Torrey Pines; I can hit 60% to 70% of those shots. This was done on Career Mode. I needed to use quick play to practice. The only place where chipping is hard is at Cardi Creek (aka Wolf Creek) with 20+ mph winds.
