a few days ago, i posted about a chipping putter, and several mentioned
using a 6 iron, in a putting stance..

i was amazed on how accurate it was!!!! im sure there was some luck, but
i used it 6 times, and all 6 times i was within 4 feet of the hole... i
was with my usual bunch who knows i cant chip well...first one one guy
yelled what luck! 2nd time, luck again..after that they accused me of
taking a lesson!! i wasnt really right next to anyone so no one saw my
secret technique.. but i got there about a half hour before the other
guys and worked on it, establishing a feel, like how far would the ball go
if i took a 1/2 swing, quarter swing 1/8th of a swing..etc!!! i am
conivced this technique saved me about 6 strokes, since i didnt have to
rechip any. and as a result. i finally broke 100 with a 99, which i could
not do all of my first season last year.
Best thing is, I am still supposed to be rusty since it is so early in the
season here in upstate ny, and just beat all of last season's score.

thanks again everyone.

one follow up question, do you guys really choke up on your shot like hold
it where the grip ends and the metal begins, or for this shot do you hold
it truly like a putter, right at the normal grip?
