Focus on a spot for your ball to
land when setting up to chip.

The landing spot should be one
fourth the distance to the hole
when chipping with a 9-iron.

Once you have determined where
to land the ball, concentrate on
carrying the ball to that spot.

Keys to Success:

1. Use this shot only when your landing spot is on the fringe or the green.
2. The One-Fourth Rule assumes a flat surface. Adjust for slopes accordingly.
3. This ratio applies specifically to the 9-iron chip shot.
